Break the Ice Part 2

Well that was. [Han...] You all did really well yesterday.

[She didn't participate but of course, she was watching! ...probably on her phone. But today she's here to assist! Which means there's probably some other stupid activity ready to be thrown your way.]

Today we have a different kind of bonding activity for you! The name of today's game is--! Two lies and a truth. Today you're going to test how well you know each other-- and maybe learn a lot more!

[And for those who may not know the rules--]

You're going to give someone a list of two things that are not true about you-- and one that is. And based on what they know about you and their impressions of you, they're going to do their best to find the truth. When it's all done, you'll tell them whether they're right or not and if they got it wrong-- you'll tell them the truth!

A super fun guessing game! I love it!

[Weird how people are more eager to participate when he's not hosting them.]

Which one of these is the truth? I'm in the circus, I've stolen a telephone pole, and I have my own pile of human teeth.

...I really hope the last one is a lie.

Oh, you got me!

[He's hoarded a great number of things, but no teeth.]

That'd make a good game too, wouldn't it? 'Guess how many teeth are in the pile'?

....Anyway-

What's it like working in the circus?

I wouldn't know about that.

Oh! So that's also a lie!

Why did you steal a telephone pole then?

Well, you never really know when you might need one. Or several.

I... um what for exactly?

Since you make such a fuss about being a clown, I'm guessing the circus thing is the truth?

Wrong answer! Would you care to try again?

Wait, seriously?

[Coulda sworn you were from the circus.]

Okay, then, you stole a telephone pole.

Thaaaaaat's riiight! Would you like to know how I did it?

... Sure, how did that happen?

[He's imagining this guy running off with a huge freaking pole over his shoulder.]

I put it in my coat.

...

[He's done. He's totally done. Enjoy the disbelieving stare.]

How big is your pile?

Pitifully small, you can't call it a pile.

[Simply not enough teeth]

Why call it a pile then?

Well, that was one of the lies, you see.

[He's sorry to disappoint]

It's the second one.

[He has no idea why the clown would need a telephone pole, but the other two don't match.]

I doubt there's any circus out there insane enough to accept you.... and while I consider you at least toeing the line of sanity sometimes, I doubt you are crazy enough to go around stealing people's teeth.

I’d expect nothing less from you, Mr. Detective!

[Round of applause for you!]

I don’t steal teeth, I just end up with them!

[He.... might be preening slightly at that applause.]

Ha.... well, I'd be disappointed in myself if I got something that simple wrong.

[Also that second sentence brings up many questions he's not sure he wants to know the answer to.]

Boo, I’ll have to think up something harder for you next time!

Well, you can try I suppose... but I'll figure out the answer regardless.

Really now? You're not a first-rate detective, after all.
