Some people seem to lead complete fantasy lives with lies stacked on lies stacked on more lies. Tell us about the ones you've met.
BTW, if any of you want to admit to making up all your QOTW stories, now would be a good time to do it.

A dear friend of mineLies through his teeth.
He doesn't do it for personal gain, and is not malicous about it, he just makes stories more interesting. Compulsively.
The most intriguing thing about him is that everybody believes him when he's telling them lies, no matter how unlikely they are. It doesn't last, as soon as you get up to go to the bar you'll twig it was bollocks, but while he's actually talking you belive it implicitly. It's magical and makes for some lovely nights out.
example:
While working in the Merchant navy he (and his shipmates) stole a fire engine in Turkey, crashed it into a bar, got drunk with the bar manager who saw the funny side, were caught up in the crossfire when the local mafia (who used the bar) had a gun fight with pirates, and escaped, leaving the fire engine next to a ship other than their own and got away scott free. Except Tom, who got shot twice and killed 2 pirates in the fight and is now officially a 'friend' of the turkish mafia, which means the UK intelligence services keep trying to recruit him...
later on I learned the real story:
Merchant navy - true
Turkey - true
Nicked fire engine - true
left it next to a different ship to avoid trouble - true
all the rest - grade A fertiliser.
M.
p.s. I had a go at him for nicking an emergency vehicle. Twunt.
