This is a question Faking it

Rakky writes, "We've all done it. From qualifications to orgasms, everyone likes to play 'let's pretend' once in a while."

So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

He was a total knob.
No, trust me that this guy really, really deserved it.

The same friend and myself had been making something rather nice out of morning glory seeds using lab equipment. In the quad, since the fumes weren't the sort of thing you wanted in an enclosed space. This nitwit knew what we were doing, but he decided to call the campus police and report to them that we were making a bomb.

A whole big thing resulted, in which we got taken into custody and damn near got charged with a whole series of felonies related to the explosives that we were not making. We did manage to talk our way out and even kept the lab equipment.

The knob in question has essentially attempted to send us to jail. The rational, expected consequences of his phone call to the police would be that my friend and I would have been literally locked in cages for an indefinite period of days or weeks until a long investigation proved that it was not a bomb that we were making. I believe that when someone literally attempts to take your freedom away and put you behind bars for no good reason, that person deserves horrible, painful revenge.

We knew who'd reported us because my good friend happened to work the switchboard of the campus phone system and heard the emergency call come in.
