Try real hard to never, but have slipped a few times.
My wife, NEVER. She has also never taken a pen from a bank or a paperclip from the office. She even drives under the speed limit. Honest.

No, I am not a liar, BUT I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night. That's my story an I am sticking to it. +o(

> No. My memory isn't good enough to lie. 😉 Besides, my personal and professional reputation is worth too much to sell for the low price of dishonesty.
I am with Brian. The last time I remember knowingly telling an untruth (AKA lying) I was about 10. I came to the conclusion that I was not good enough at it to even attempt again, besides which, it didn't "Feel" correct. It has since become ingrained in me. Always tell the truth as I know it. Doesn't mean I am always correct either.

OK Steven, that sounds good and pardon me for using it.
[sarcasm]I always tell the truth as I know it.[/sarcasm]
I've heard much the same from other sources and it always fit the bill.

That video is worth watching.:good:
3 Levels of Truth
I try not to lie by creatively using the 3 Levels of Truth.
Level 1: the Truth…..
Level 2: the Whole Truth….
Level 3: the Whole Truth….and Nothing But the Truth.
You can tell Level 1 Truth, but conveniently leave out other parts of the truth. (Does this dress make me look fat??? No the dress does not make you look fat)
You can tell the Whole truth, but again leave out bits and pieces or add in extra details. (does this dress make me look fat…tell the truth……I love you very much dear but that dress does not look good on you because….Lie;Lie;Lie)
Level 3 is where you really have no choice or chance: Does this dress make me look fat….tell the truth…..Yes you are a fat cow; now where do I sign the divorce papers?
3 Levels of Truth
How many of you watched the great movie starring Jim Carrey where he absolutely could not lie about anything? It nearly killed him, over and over again.
When I occasionally crack a second one my wife will say, "Didn't you already have one?" like she's worried I'm becoming a drunk or something.
so I reply, "SO I'M HAVING ANOTHER ONE!" Jesus, what am I, a two year old?
if you ask a statistician what 2+2 is, he will answer, "what would you like it to be?"
or maybe 4 +/-2 sigma.

😉 My old platoon sergeant from my days as an 82C Field Artillery surveyor used to ask "How do you know when 'Thompson' is lying? Whenever he says anything!"

A better reply to #3, for truthfulness would be: No, it just accentuates it.
Meaning no dress or other clothing makes someone who is fat or chubby(depending on degree) look that way. It may accentuate, be neutral or help disguise the fact.
Still probably looking at a minimum of a good fight or and extremely "cold shoulder" for a while.
Yes, that's the ticket.
Funny bit.
