OK, this is a great thread so I'll give you some confessions...I once faked being sick at a sales convention because I had no idea what the hell was going on in the training session. None, nada, zippo. I was selling and designing advertising for a big time newspaper, they put all the sales people in a training room at a fancy eatery downtown. Well, they were debuting a sales technique that we were supposed to start using on our calls and after lunch, we were to get up and use them with another partner towards a customer. I sell by gut feeling, winging it, it works for me...standard scr1pt sales, not a clue. I spent a hour and a half and didn't know what they were talking about.

We all adjourned and went to lunch in the fancy place, had a good time, then the witching hour was at hand. A bunch of us departed to the restrooms before our big mock sales theatre and while I was in there, I devised a plan to get out of the whole thing...fake like I was crapping my drawers out in the stall. Yeah, I did a helluvah good job, could've taken home an Oscar. Moans of pain and all, it was convincing, so much so that I told the guys on the other side to go on without me...I couldn't make it up to the presentation. I then camped out in the shitter for a good half hour, then made my way to the car, and drove off. Next day, manager came over to me and asked what happened, and I told her I got sick off the seafood. That was that. True confessions...I love 'em.
