I think that's just Blatant Lies.
Character A has stepped on a dog turd. Trying to clean his shoe, he feels embarassed when Character B arrives and sees him cleaning his shoe. Character A explains it's because it's the "national day where you need to step on dog poop" in order to honor them.
I suppose it's some sort of Deus Ex, in case Character B believes him, but I don't know the right name for it.
