Du ring a recent NHV playofi game there was a controversy when the dlock diînt stant on time and one of the îeams nianaged to score a goal witb less than a second rernaining. Much of the discussion in tbe media chalked it up to huinan error. I hiad to laogb at that conclusion. i did the une dlock for man N'cars for' several diii erenit ktds' hockey teams wben the borne tear was responsible for scorekeeping. its an easN, process. Wben the puck drops, you start the dlock, wbien the whîstle blows you stop it. Your band is constantly on the switch, s0 its noi a dîfficuli job îo do rigbt hy any stretch of the imagination. Now my reaction urne would sorne- ârnes fluctuate rnseriously depend- îng on the score and how inuch ime was remaining in the period or the garne. fi rnghî have been only a second or a fraction of a second, and it nieyer affected the outcomne of' a gaine, but that doesnt excuse the fact that it was a forrn of cbeaîing. The rationalization. of course. ts that the other îeamis did it too, or sbouid base i tbeyv sere smart enougb or ds i- ous enougbi.

You play strip poker, you îakc yocir chances. Now real poker as an aîcult. lin not so suie if thîs is cbcatîng or taktng advantage of sorneone elses stupidty Sornetimes people like 10 wear suni- glasses to bide îbcîr eycs. -Dl ,- ~ - , So cbeaters do somnetiînes -prosper sîrîp poker. aAl loose Soinetimes those suniglasses are the mnirror type.

A lot oif people dont nmmd cheating a utility or satellite or cable proiders. in fact, how yott hear people ialk - it-s tbcir God-given rght. Not me, ol course, mostly because l'inflot smart enough, but some of the charges they make us pay are so ridiculous people feel iî serves them night. I dont remember ever cheating on exaîns or tests back when I was in school, but if someone bad offered mie a foolproof way not to get caugbt I would have considered f t. Just constd- ered it. Once I w'as accttsed hy a teachet of cbeaîing in high scbool wben I wasn. fie had no proof otfîci than a suspicion of plagtarin and gave nie a failing grade.
