I lie, because for me it's a Sport. The shear excitment of it all.

I have been regarded as the "grouch" in our family because I do my best to be truthful, it surprises me how many people take the truth as a personal insult. No those pants do not make your butt "look" big it is big!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear you on that one! the way I tell people is like this...
"do not get mad at me for telling the truth if it is your truth! If I say something about you that is true and you don't like it then it's up to you to change it but don't get mad at me for saying it! change your truth's about yourself you don't like or shut up!"

Sometime discretion is the correct approach.
There are people who usually do not know when they should be silent; there are times that you have to know when to “withhold” the truth rather than hurting someone’s feelings. No I am not a goody two shoes. But why would you want to go out of your way to tell people just the way it is, just to hurt someone. Does it make you feel better? Usually not! As you mature you realize that it is just not worth the hassle. Just to tell it like it is.

I simply don't lie ... My memory is soooo bad... I have a hard enough time trying to remember the truth nevermind a lie.

I lie because I've seen what the truth gets you...

ANYONE that says they don't lie is telling their first lie. If everyone told the complete and honest truth for just one day, the entire planet would shut down, wither and die or be destroyed by nuclear war.
