Chatters & Cheaters

This happened quite some time back. There was this sophomore girl in our college with whom I was pretty acquainted with and I used to lend my past semester’s books to her. We used to chat on the internet and during one of those chatting sessions I showed her some of the recently taken photos. Seeing one of my pics,

She: You look like a zombie in that pic.

(Zombie???)

Me: Actually, that’s not me. That’s my twin brother. 

(A fiendish smile appears on my face)

She: You’re kidding.
Me: No, absolutely not. That’s Sam, my bro; he’s 4 minutes younger to me.
She: Seriously???
Me: Why should I lie about my bro. Anyway, I don’t care whether you believe it or not.
She: Oh! I believe you. You’re so lucky to have a twin bro. What’s he doing?

I make up volumes of lies, and meanwhile created a fake profile in Orkut with the descriptions I told her. Then I messaged some of my friends who were online to quickly add that profile to their friends list, to avoid any suspicions. I sat back and patted my head thinking about my ingenious creativity and the inherent gullibility of the fairer sex. Seeing my profile, I mean my bro’s profile, 

She: Oh boy! He looks almost like you.

(Almost??? Man, I was clutching my stomach trying to control my laughter)

Me: Ya, I told ya.  

(The “girl” species is indeed a dumb lot) 

Me: By the way, who do you like more, me or Sam? 

(Now this is when I call myself a genius; as you can see, this is mostly a win-win situation for me)

She: Hmm, Sam! 
Me: Ok 

(I was literally rolling on the floor laughing by now)

Me: But, you know, he’s not your kind of person. Has all those bad habits.
She: Bad??
Me: Ya, he smokes and drinks.
She: I don’t think that’s too bad. I’m pretty ok with that.

(What the F??)

Me: You know, he has numerous girlfriends too.
She: You mean friend girls, right?
Me: No you dumbo, girlfriends!!
She: Hmmm, that’s bad. Maybe, I like you more

(Finally, *phew* )

She: Hey I need some text books. Class notes are of no use. 
Me: Ok
She: You don’t mind giving books to me right?
Me: Actually, I do. But since you’re shameless and blatantly asks for my precious books, and since I’m a noble gentleman with a kind heart, No, I don’t mind.
She: Ok fine, then don’t give.
Me: Just kidding. I’ll give the books to JuniorX. You collect it from him.
She: Thanks a lot. Gotta go now. 
Me: Ok, bye.
She: Bye, take care.

Man, I should say this, I never laughed and guffawed so much in front of the computer, and never thought I could make her believe all those lies (well-crafted lies they are though). Now, JuniorX is her classmate in college, who happened to be my junior at school. Next day, I saw JuniorX at college bus. Upon seeing me,

JuniorX: How’s your twin bro? 
Me: !!!
JuniorX: You know what, as soon as you told her about the twin bro, she messaged me asking whether it’s true. I told you’re a big fat liar. Anyway, she said she was going to play along with you and have some fun. And after chatting with you, she phoned me and said that you’re too gullible to ‘believe’ that others ‘believe’ you. However, she was impressed by the fact that you sweated out creating a fake profile and adding friends in a flash of a second.
Me: Blue Blistering Barnacles!! I want all my books back! 
JuniorX: She also said she had never laughed so much in front of the computer. 

“!!!!!”

Moral of the story, anyone??
