A blogger I follow (Krin over at www.kandy.net) mentioned reading a book called Book of Lies.. thought one her excerpts was so on the mark that I have to get the book myself now.

I have to admit that I use #1 alot and will say, I'M FINE. Which really translates into...no, I'm not fine, and I want you to make me feel better or guess what is wrong! lol
I of course never use any of the other lies on this list...
Kids will say that to get out of school, but adult say that to get out of work or to get out doing stuff with friends/family. My former friend used to lie like this all the time. That was one of many lies she told everyone.

#2 That was my husband when he was in the hospital. Didn't matter how many times we told him what happened.
You forgot "I'll call you." That's one of the dating lies. I only got told that once back in my dating days. Then the guy said he didn't remember saying that. Another lie.
Sometimes my husband will lie about something to me just so I won't get mad, but what makes me madder is him not being truthful. Don't lie, you'll get found out anyway.
And the number one that my husband uses the most "I'll get to it later."
You have the number one lie correct. My husband also likes to use the line, "All it needs is..." This is usually when talking about a car, then it ends up taking him 3 times longer because it needed a lot more than he said. I don't know that is a lie, but more like not being realistic about what needs to be done.
#3 They always say the don't remember, even when you said it 3 times. Or they say, "You didn't tell me that." It's called short term memory loss. That is right up there with selective hearing.
Ask me no questions. I will tell you no lies.
Actually I never lie. I may sometimes be careless with the truth, but I never Lie.

....Now, a very great man once said
That some people rob you with a fountain pen
It didn’t take too long to find out
Just what he was talkin’ about
A lot of people don’t have much food on their table
But they got a lot of forks ’n’ knives
And they gotta cut somethin’....

I was taught not to lie, so I'm pretty honest. Only time I lie is when I need to cover my butt so I don't get in trouble.
Is is a lie to make the truth sound better? What I mean is like making hamburger sound like a filet mignon. It's all in how you word it. Advertisers do it all the time. That's how you write a resume. Make yourself sound really good without it being a lie. It's how you word it.
