However, along came the bus, which I boarded, so my lie was magically
transformed into a truth.  Or was it?  Maybe I'll need to consult with

By the way, during a 90-minute meeting the Advocate smoked all but two
cigarettes in a pack--an average of one every five minutes for the whole
session!  If that's what Scientology does for you, where do I sign up?

Forget the magically appearing bus-- what I find totally amazing is that you
actually spent 90 minutes with a Scientology recruiter!  What did they do, bar
the door shut?
