I also know that the answer is not shopping, joke around, or spend
time. Need a definitive answer. It is not a multiple answer type of
question. Thanks!

This is almost certainly not a question which has a single, unique
answer. Would any answer for which a reference can be cited be
satisfactory, or does the answer need to be the one accepted by a
contest of some sort?

Oh sorry that wasn't very "clarified." Yes I would like an answer with
the reference to where that answer was found. Thank you!

Zabs,

Would this be an acceptable answer?

A link to the source is provided below.

Study finds that people are more willing to lie to coworkers than to strangers

"A new study in the June issue of the Journal of Consumer Research
found that we are more likely to muddle the truth with our coworkers
than with perfect strangers. "

I asked you earlier if you would accept an answer with a reference
source, and you said yes. Are you now saying that the answer must be
the one accepted by some contest?

Clarification of Question by zabs-ga on 25 Sep 2006 15:43 PDT
