Faking itRakky writes, "We've all done it. From qualifications to orgasms, everyone likes to play 'let's pretend' once in a while."
So when have you faked it? Did you get away with it? Or were your mendacious ways exposed?

Walter Mitty? Pah, amateurI am notorious for inventing the most ridiculous nonsense if I get bored. Examples?
- putting up a brolly in the Louvre, and wandering round making up history of paintings to see if I could get merkins to follow and listen (a few, but not for long as I'm a crap liar)
- answering any questions asked on the street (especially charity bashers) with a heavily accented "I speeeek ooonly seerbo-croat"
- making up careers in pubs when talking to strangers. Alexei Sayle wrote an awesome short story on these lines, but as yet, have been unable to get anyone to buy me a pint for a good story as his character does repeatedly.

No, I preferzany, whacky, or "the office prankster".
Do you describe yourself as "I just enjoy my own company"?

If it was a choice of someone...kooky, nutty or just plain cr-azy.
Then yes, yes I would prefer my own company.
It would save the mad old joker a poke in the eye.
