The second admits,"I have a drug problem,and I pressure my patients into buying drugs for me."
The third says,"I know it's wrong,but no matter how hard I try,I just can't keep a secret."

I recently e-mailed one website to enquire why my goods had not yet arrived.Later,I received a charming telephone call.'sorry for the delay,' said a young male voice.'I'll check and get back to you.I can't access the Net at the moment because my mum's vacuuming and this room only has one socket.'
