Giving a lecture of credit curve construction in New York. People were making fun of my scotish style wool skirt, well, it is a bit on the short side.

Had lunch with Brian, who is my fellow Canadian and Waterloo graduate. He is the most upright person I have ever met (apart from my cousin, Jennifer). He was telling me one time he was having lunch in restaurant, and the fire alarm went off. People just packed up (some even picked up the unfinished pizza) and leave. No one seemed to have any desire to go back to the store and pay the bills. Brian felt really bad and wanted to go back and pay for his food. Only the thought that the restaurant might ask him to pay for his friend put him off the crazy plan.
I sometime wonder what can breed this righteous attitute? Being honest is of course important but I do believe our being honest is inspired by the fear of being found dishonest by others. Suppose we can get away with the petty crime for sure, I think most people would not give back the wrong change the teller gave you.
Nevertheless, I do respect this quality because I think I am somewhat crooked .
