Haha you cracked and disclosed your source? God Wynton. You can't disclose your source. So what happened to you? Did you stay on as a counselor?

I was sent home in the middle of the summer, along with a few others. But because I was somewhat indispensable, I was asked to return after a week or two. In fact, I was asked to come back the following summer, as a full-fledged, paid counselor.

Or maybe they just thought I would be a good informer.

Anyway, I didn't return. The camp was pretty badly run, though their interrogators were first-rate.

@OP

Both of these are examples that only had attention drawn to them because of a pause. If you just say whatever it is it turns into a joke, and you can play it from there.

This technique will allow you to never encounter a situation like this again.
