VOWS

"If I tell you something— it's just between us.  Right?"
"Sure."  
"Every time I make a new friend I tell that friend that I would like to confide something very personal about myself, and I always stress the importance of confidentiality. Then I make up a story.”
"And then what?"
"Then I go home and I write down in my index file the made up story and the name of the person I told it to"
"Wow. “
"Please don't tell anyone else that I do this."  
"Don't worry. I won't tell a soul."
"Thanks."
