I know this one!
I say a mate of mine, but he pissed off a couple of years ago when he and his missus split up, and no-one’s seen him since!
But anyway, this ex-mate of mine told the most unbelievable whoppers. The most popular ones that come to mind are:
Going out with said ex-missus whilst seeing someone else practically half his age at the same time.
Bungee jumping. He claimed he had done loads of bungee jumps but was unable to provide any evidence. If you’re going to chuck yourself off a bridge on a rubber band, surely you’d get a few photos of the event?
Claimed that he had won a race at a drag racing meet. Again, no evidence.
Claimed that his next adrenalin fix would be to skate along the tarmac on steel soled boots whilst hanging on to the back of a very fast moving motorbike.
Claimed sexual experience of just about every woman he’s ever worked with.
Claimed that he was going to do a degree in “Quantum Thermodynamics”. He only just scraped through his BTEC diploma in computer studies…
He once came up with a bit of Flash that made letters in words explode and, as I was playing around with Flash at the time, I was interested to know how he did it. He refused to tell me. it later transpired that he had nicked the FLA off a Flash site...

So remember kids, lying doesn't get you anywhere! People invariably end up thinking you're a nob...

The last line
That last line in your post should be engraved over the entrance of every school in the land.
