Army
Jimbo's official guide
To
lying
A friend once told me that telling a lie to cover up a lie
is like trying to dig your way out of a hole. Nonsense I say,
obviously he’s never been on a Herpes Annonymous, members
only, luxury cruise to Hamilton Island.
He did get one thing right – you can’t dig your
way out of a hole – but that doesn’t mean you can’t
dig anyway, just for kicks.
Where most people go wrong when twisting themselves into a
tangled web of deceit, is that they don’t keep adequate
track of their lies. What you need is a lie log book –
kind of like an excuses log book for lies – in which
you can keep track of all your preposterous fabrications.
If you’re anything like me, you’ll have to keep
a page or two for every person you know.
But be careful – having all your lies meticulously outlined
and on hand for quick referral can make dishonesty all too
easy. Just because you have a lie log book doesn’t mean
you have to lie to people – sometimes you can just distract
them for a moment and run away.
