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?

Vays of making you talkOne of those apocryphal tales of fakery which I first heard on Radio 4 last year, and nearly crashed my car. I'd SO love it to be true...
A Scottish court was hearing a case involving a German sailor in a drunken bar brawl. Alas, the defendant didn't know a word of English, and the Sheriff threatened to throw the case out unless the prosecution could come up with a German speaker to transate, pronto.
A voice pipes up from the back of the public gallery – it's some guy who can speak German, and he'd be only to happy to translate the proceedings for the guy in the dock.
He's ushered down to the front, sworn in, and the Sheriff asks the defendant to confirm his identity.
The translator leans over the dock to the trembling Hun and shouts: "VOT IZ YOUR NAME?"
Verdict: Contempt of court
Personal fakery: It was me. ME.
