Be Honest
Everyone is to some extent, it is the level of those lies that define you, anyone that says otherwise is a liar.
yes, daily.
i try to keep 'em white though.
You know when you’re young and you don’t tell the truth they call you a fibber.
You get a little older and you still ain’t tellin’ the truth they call you a liar.
You get a little bit older and you still ain’t tellin’ the truth, they might call you a bullspitter.
Get a little older and you ain’t still tellin’ the truth and you’re getting pretty good at it – they call you an artist – give you plaques, keys to cities, trophy’s, stuff like that.

Honest Injun. I am not a liar. Not even little white ones.
I do everything in my power not to deceive anybody, because stuff like that creeps over into your professional life if you live in a small community.
Now... do I tell someone every little nugget of every little piece of information that I know about something. No. That's a different animal altogether.
I've telling people for years, even in social situations that I won't lie for them, because where do you draw the line? And, would you ever trust a surveyor (insert many professions here) that would lie?

Like a 90 year old's underwear... depends.
Wife: How many beers is that for you???!!!
Me: um...twooo?
LOL, so says the single man. No wonder you can't keep a woman.
"Does this dress make me look fat?" Carl's temporary girlfriend asked.
"No, it is your fat that makes you look fat" Carl answered.

:good:
But, I do know how to be pretty diplomatic, without lying... when I HAVE to .
😛
I swear before heaven and earth that I am not a liar, and neither is my wife, Morgan Fairchild....whom I've seen naked!
I never tell the truth when it does not matter and I never lie when it does.
Mostly!
We all stretch the truth a bit now and then.
The world is not prepared for someone who is 100% honest 100% of the time.
Ever been looking at a new born baby and had someone exclaim that it was just the cutest baby ever born? Don't know about you guys but I have never seen a "cute" newborn.
I find a huge difference between failing to be totally honest with an opinion (No dear, those jeans do not make your butt look too big) and flat out lying (No, I didn't go out with the guys drinking last night, I was at the office all evening working.)

You never have to remember the truth................. DGG
am I a liar? no
funny word.
many different definitions are used these days... I avoid the use of that word, and many others too. Too many wrong ideas come to the minds of people.
The best ways to lie:
1. Tell just part of the truth, and shut up.
2. Tell the truth so unconvincingly that nobody believes.
3. Let them guess wrong and don't correct them.
4. Show baffling statistics so you don't state the lie.
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 like your reply - I concur 🙂
An attorney asked me one time what I thought about another surveyor. I kinda hemmed and hawed for a minute and then told him. "My mother told me that if I can't say something good to not say anything". He laughed and said that answered his question.
Andy
I always lie.
So, no.
Me? I always tell the truth, even when I lie.
