A beautiful woman walks past a group of men. One of the men complains about her provocative demeanour, moaning about lack of morals, the passing of the old values, then as she glances back, he winks at her. His mouth is saying one thing, but his actions say something quite different. The man complains about theft, then cheats on his tax return. These are all examples of hypocrisy.
