Cigarette Police (October 2008)

Dear Gork,

Each day i drive past a cemetery on my way to work, and then again on my way home. in the morning i always see the caretaker out by the service shed having a smoke. and at night he is doing the same thing. normally this wouldn't be a big deal, but he happens to be dating my sister's best friend and i know for a fact that she doesn't know that he smokes! should i tell her that he is a dangerous liar, or is it none of my business? thank you for your speedy reply this is driving me absolutely bonkers!

Shelly,

I guess we know why you are not your sister's best friend...you're a nark. Sorry to be harsh here, but it's true. If you are right, then there is some minor deceit going on in a relationship that doesn't concern you in any way. Honestly, it sounds like you are jealous that you don't have a guy that lies to you. There are plenty of semi-sincere men out there to go around. Don't ruin a semi-perfect relationship for your own semi-selfish reasons.
