Disco Stu never lies
Big ups to Coltrane for the Disco Stu pic.
On lying:
Good liars do all the things that Coltrane and Atticus suggested. I also think that the number one way to get caught in a lie is inconsistencies, and someone picking up on inconsistencies. I could never lie to my wife because she has a freaky-scary memory about minutae that I've said months, even years before. She, however, can lie to me because unless something involves sports, cards, TV or numbers, I have the concentration-skills of a housecat with ADD. Therefore, another key to lying is an honest assessment of the memory/mental acuity of yourself, and the person you're lying to. The amount/number of lies you'll be able to get away with is a function of your ability to keep your shit straight, and the lie-ee's abillity to remember the shit that would be your undoing.
On lying to your boss when calling in sick:
Don't hack and cough and shit. Sound perfectly normal. No first hand experience with this, just a feeling that underacting>overacting.
Anyone know anybody who got busted for lying to their boss about something serious? Any good stories? How about anyone who got busted for cheating on their spouse? How did it they get caught? Or if they got away with it, what were their success tips for getting away with it?
