498A misuse

THE GOODWILL GESTURE






Emptying the contents, he stuffed the packet into his pocket; this trick should work, he thought wickedly and called the helper.

'Complimentary juices for the opposite team as a goodwill gesture,' he drawled, 'remember, the transparent jug for them and the opaque for our team, understood?'

The helper nodded, as he was prompted again, 'the transparent for them, opaque for ours.'

Mid-game one by one the players rushed to the loo, confusing all, affecting their performance, and eventually, the opponents won.

Frustrated, he called the helper, 'What did you do?'

'You said, transparent for ours, and the opaque for them.'
