True, Literally

         Vanessa was beginning to irritate me, anything anyone else had done, she'd gone one better. To Clara's gingerly offered poem, Vanessa had poetry published. To Rose's excitement about a catwalk opportunity, she had walked for "names" Apparently Vanessa had modelled, had books published, sang with a band, and started her own company. Not that I thought she was lying,  just gilding the lilly a bit. 

Finally she turned on me 

 "and what interesting things have you done" she asked with a sneer

"Well, one wet Wednesday I walked out of Sirens Strip club with  $23,000 in my pocket"

Vanessa gulped and suddenly needed to go to the ladies

As she left Rosie burst out laughing

"Are you going to tell her that you are an interior designer and had just finished project managing the new bar" 

"No" I replied, smiling
