I have a pretty bad phobea of sandThis ISN'T a lie. I can't go near it, I REALLY hate it and although I admit, it is an odd hate, as you can imagine the amount of times I have to 'convince' people that I'm not lieing with repeated statements of 'honestly' and 'I'm serious' starts to get a bit annoying in itself.
So I decided to to convince people in one falswoop by simpley saying 'My brother died in sand' That shuts people up well quick! However, I don't have the kind of conviction to hold that kind of pointless lie down for too long, so a few seconds later I say 'I'm just kidding, he didn't really!'. The reaction is one of disgust and disbelief (especially amongst people I've only recently met) but the outcome is still just as desirable, it certainly get's us of the subject of my wierd pet hate of sand.

A friend of mine got hold of several press passesto the Max Power Live Show at the NEC last year to which we went along for a laugh.
Unfortunately my girlfriend found out that I had gone to the Spearmint Rhino floorshow and I had to lie and say that I didn't really enjoy it. I then had to lie further and say that I felt a bit dirty afterwards and then had to act shamed for a few days. Hah! It was fantastic.

I don't hate Sand...But I do hate tape. And the same thing - I had to convince people that I wasn't lying or being a shit, so I told them that when I was little, my brother duct-taped my arms and legs to themselves and beat me with sticks.
Haahaa.
(Haahaa.
