This is boring again now.
Let's do something else.

What's the best lie you've ever got away with?

What's the worst lie you've ever got caught trying to tell?

The worst was meeting a Scottish bird in a boozer
And trying to pretend that I was Scottish as well. I didn't think that one through too well.

Excellent.
So did you get any?

No
I lost it in the end and blubbed.

I have a great QOTW about something similar
I nearly got glassed.

I was very creative
This was in Barrow, and I was 18 or 19, but I knew my way round Scotland.

It all hinged on the fact that I knew how to pronounce the Glasgow suburb of Milngavie. It's MILguiy.

my best lies are silly lies
like the one about house elephants, or the other day when I told another lecturer that 'Sexting' (which was a topic supposedly covered that day in tutorial) was putting your phone on vibrate and shoving it up your chuff. Luckily someone told her before she went to teach.

That does rather make it sound
like she was about to teach the practice of sexting.

i sometimes wonder about tutorial topics
I liked it when we got sent to a presentation on drugs. At one point, going through a powerpoint the woman presenting said "what's next...ooooooh, Ketmine!"

that was also the one with an A4 sheet about people abusing whipped cream canister things which felt the need in bold text to add "when treated properly, whipped cream can be a delicious addition to desserts and cakes". Thanks.

Ahh, yes, I knew a very world-dim/book-clever univsertiy girl who did history. I convinced that Eva Braun invented the Braun razor.

Hmm, I've not done any real epic lies.
I always one-up my abilities when it comes to getting jobs, but I'm extremely good at adapting and getting the hang of coding, so have always managed to brush up in moments. I've never lied about an actual language but I have done on frameworks and coding methordology/principles.

On that "Dug's Life" or whatever it's called TV Show, at least, that's where I think it was... anyway, when I was really young, someone said "I don't lie because then I have to remember what I said" and I generally keep with that... telling what's happened is natural, telling a lie is not, you have to think about it and remember it... you don't have to really remember the truth, you just know it.

I used to steal money from Dad's coin thing when I was little, a quid here, 50p there, never more than a fiver. That was the worst kind of thing, theift was, that I've done... because it was a trust thing, rather than the amount. Did that for a few years.

I've done a few white lies in my time.

Oh, i can't do lies
I start grinning like an idiot. It also makes me a really bad card player.
