I tell a porky sometimes, but mainly to avoid trouble with the wife, here are some of my favourites.

1. On being asked how many beers I had, I say 4 when really I had about 8
2. Strangers say "how are you?" and really you see see only horror, but you just say "I'm good".
3. When you say "Good morning".....I mean really? What is good about the morning?
4. When you see a student with a Ziggy Stardust haircut and you say "you are one funky looking chap!"

What are your classic lies?
