A man who insists he has nothing to hide is giving the distinct impression that he’s hiding something.
The man, 44-year-old Keith Schembri from Bormla, was speaking to Bis-Serjetà at his office in Valletta, where he works as a chief of staff.
“I don’t own anything that anyone would find remotely interesting. Having said that, I would really appreciate it if you didn’t look inside that wardrobe over there, the one that appears to be on the verge of bursting open,” Schembri said.
“I promise I’m not hiding anything in the wardrobe, or beneath that wobbly floor tile, or under that trapdoor,or behind that bookcase, and especially not in that chest with the sign saying ‘NOTHING TO SEE IN HERE’ painted on it in big red letters,” he added.
Schembri warned that if anyone accused him of being a lying, cheating, corrupt piece of filth who is definitely hiding something, he would sue them for all they were worth.
“Unless I’m forced to open the wardrobe and all the other things I’m not hiding anything in,” he added.
