These people really didn't think.


Okay, we know that. But here's a few examples that I don't think have been brought up.

Sandra already believed that Becky was a thief and a drug dealer, based on no evidence. Why is she okay with leaving her precious fiance alone in the office with this lying, thieving drug dealer? Who is also naked? By Sandra's logic, Becky could also have been a prostitute. ("Oh yeah, that was part of our sting. We've also got her for hooking, and she just proved she's a whore. So I'm gonna need you and some other employees to stone her to death.")

Then there are a couple of times when it should have been obvious to the listener that they were being had. I can see a large percentage of people being taken in up to, and even including, the strip search, because the caller sounded so authoritative. But when you get to "Put her clothes in a bag, take the bag out to your car and leave it unlocked" doesn't it become obvious that this is a JOKE? I mean, that's Candid Camera stuff.

And when Kevin refused to go along with the *beep* policy" and the caller said "One last question: Were you two ever an item?" that was another step too far. I thought for sure Kevin was going to say "Waitaminut...this is some perv. *click* You guys strip searched Becky because of some perv." But it seems he thought he was dealing with a corrupt cop, with "cop" being the operative word. Or I should say, "Officer of the lawwwwwwwwwwwwww."

The maintenance guy's line is crucial: "I'll be damned if it isn't [my decision]." The others just weren't making their own decisions. (I'm not including Becky in that, of course.)
