FOR THE 50TH TIME - I DO NOT HAVE FORESTED ASS.

Ask AdL. He and I go to the same waxing salon. Only I don't get the chest shaving.

'Tis a pity.

Only you sweetie. Only you. No one else gives a shit.*

A woman said through tears Thursday that she lied about losing the winning ticket for a $162 million lottery prize awarded to another woman.

The chocolate submarine exits its berth smoother than ever. You really have to try it. It makes dropping the kids off at the pool a real pleasure.

Thank you. I now feel much better about knowing I will never be a Metrosexual.

Way to take the meatball. Can we create a word for a post that swings at every down-the-middle pitch? This is batting-cage fodder.

Well, Sebby likes to say "I teed you up for that one." You could use that.

But I think you're more right than Sebby about the cheap suits. One of the lawyers at this meeting I described is one of the best in his field -- a partner at a top NY firm that is considered by many to have the best practice group in the field. He may just be a fashion disaster, or he may consciously dress for his audience, but I guarantee that I was the only one in the room who cared about his collar and his shoes.

I was realllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly bored at this meeting.

That threesome she and Paris suggested is not as appealing as I thought.

I'm almost positive that the rumored threesome video with Paris Hilton does not involve Nicole Richie, but rather, Nicole Lenz, lingerie model and certifiably-nutso girl.

I know. I am weak that way. Perhaps it is due to fear of the whiff.

Well, if he's a tax guy, who cares what he looks like. People don't buy me for being an academician, and I don't sell myself as such. I don't think many litigators do. People hire us in part because they want a mouthpiece, and if you're a mouthpiece, its best to be a well put together one.

I wouldn't want a tax guy who looked or acted like me. That would scare the shit out of me if I was a client.

Much like my previous poll/question about mensturation (Dave, shame on you for not hammering that meatball with a classic Kids in the Hall reference to the guy with the positive attitude about mensturation), this HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME PERSONALLY.

But, I'm sure the wiseacres around here will chime in with their usual schitck, and I can deal with that. But here's the question.

What are your surefire tips/techniques for lying convincingly and getting away with it. Pick your favorite situation(s) and explain. Lying to spouse? Family? Boss? Client?

Corrollary: How do you (or people you've observed) lie badly? What mistakes do they make?

[ltl/fb]

1. Sebby, dearest, of course you do not get the ass/chest/back shave at the waxing salon. You get the ass/chest/back wax at the waxing salon. But nice try at the "I'm technically not telling a lie" post.

2. BnB, I don't think you are supposed to be rolling the long string of pearls between your fingers. They go lower. Get with the man-pleasing program.

3. Kudos to whoever pointed out that sebby and coltrane are roomies.

4. Does anyone know if slate roofs are susceptible to hail damage? Or are they pretty much impervious to that too?

5. It is the wattle, not the waddle, that makes it inadvisable for old broads such as myself to shake our heads. The waddle is a different issue entirely.

6. Do I seem cranky today?

Content of the lie:

If you have time, know the story backwards and forwards. Plus details. The more details the better (as long as they don't conflict). Mention something someone (who the lie-ee doesn't know) said and quote them "verbatim". Be VERY specific as to location/make of car/time of day/etc.

Presentation of the lie:

Follow the Costanza rule: It's not a lie if you believe it. Convince yourself first. Play back the lie in you head like a memory. Visualize the lie. When telling the lie, your mind will recall this playback as if it was true. They'll believe you if you do.

And, of course, look the person in the eyes, speak slowly and stay on your toes (figuratively).

Lying

My sister cannot lie..ever. She starts either crying or laughing, depending on the subject matter, if she tries to lie. Been that way all her life, poor dear.

I, on the other hand, apparently mastered lying at an early age. My mother has told me that they simply could not tell unless there was evidence to counter my story. My mother was among the first people to suggest that I consider law as a career.

The only "lies" I tell now involve me being silent when I deisre to stand up in a meeting and yell "you are a fucking moron." I consider my silence to be just like a lie. I know that I can lie very well if I wanted to -- the secret is just telling yourself that it is true (even imagine a little backstory to the lie if necessary). I find it much more fun to be bluntly truthful -- and if you start that from the get-go with your co-workers they tend to accept it and say "that's just how ThrashersFan is, painful but true."

Your third sentence is generous.

How helpful.

3. Kudos to whoever pointed out that sebby and coltrane are roomies.

Agreed, praise all around.

4. Does anyone know if slate roofs are susceptible to hail damage? Or are they pretty much impervious to that too?

It is all about the size and velocity of the hail. But you already knew that, because you're very smart.

5. It is the wattle, not the waddle, that makes it inadvisable for old broads such as myself to shake our heads. The waddle is a different issue entirely.

Informative.

6. Do I seem cranky today?

Not at all -- you are generous, helpful, full of praise, smart and informative, dear.
