An ECON1010 tutorial group has been left shellshocked this morning after mature-age student Andrew Saunders (32) accidentally claimed responsibility for a war atrocity during a game of 'Two Truths One Lie'.
Reports say tutor James Somerville (21) began the activity with an eye toward continuing a proud UQ tradition of making Week 2 tutorials incredibly uncomfortable and objectively useless. Somerville initially appeared to have accomplished this goal, as student after student rose to deliver uninteresting facts about themselves, sprinkled in with an uninteresting lie about themselves. All students were grateful to learn that Cara Simpson was born at the Royal Brisbane Hospital.
After appearing somewhat sheepish, Saunders jumped into his turn with a smile.
"Alright here goes:
1. I played badminton for Queensland when I was in Grade 9.
2. I engaged in extra-judicial killings during my first tour of Iraq before being honourably discharged after a massive coverup.
3. I have an identical twin."
The room stood deathly silent as his usually apathetic audience sat up in their chairs at the possibility of a pretty sick edgy joke. Sensing nobody would have a punt, Saunders revealed his deepest, most disturbing secret:
“Number 3 is the lie! While I do have a twin, he is actually my fraternal twin, not identical!”
As the group of supple first years recoiled in horror, Saunders realised his mistake.
“Haha… just kidding. I did NOT kill those civilians… Haha… pranked!” stated Saunders, before sprinting out of the room.
No more to come.
