Your pants are smouldering

As further proof that Opie gets everything, got to do a school visit today. This trip was offered only to Opie even though Opie was not the one most qualified to do it. 

When Opie went to schedule the visit, Spoof told him to contact the school and see what days would work best for them. Then, Opie was to bring the list of dates to Spoof for approval. Three hours later, Opie tramped down to Spoof's work space with a single date in hand. "This is what the school sent me," said Opie.

"Oh," said Spoof. "When did they call you?"

"They didn't call," said Opie.

"So how did they tell you this date?"

Opie wouldn't look Spoof in the eye. "They didn't pick the date. I did. I just sent it to them."

Lie #1 - Apparently Opie doesn't even listen to a word he says

When Spoof double checked the time Opie had scheduled, there was a problem. "Opie, you're supposed to work the desk during that hour."

"I know," said Opie. "I figured you could cover for me."

"I'll be at lunch Opie."

"Oh, so Speck can do it."

"Maybe, Opie. You'll have to ask Speck."

"I'll make sure to do that."

Lie #2 - Opie never even mentioned it to Speck

Before Opie left for the visit today, Speck cornered him to demand some information. After explaining exactly how long he would be gone Opie said, "Usually I'd schedule this visit for a time when I'm not working the desk but this was the only time the school had available."

Lie #3 - See the entire above conversation

To Opie, all we can say is this:
