When is it okay to lie?
I'm all about being honest (sometimes brutally), it truly is the best policy....most of the time. My theory is that you should NEVER ask a question that you don't want to know the answer to.
Here are some situations where lying might be acceptable.
If a creepy guy in short shorts and a safari hat asks you if the seat next to yours is taken...it is okay to fib. (This is also a situation where it would be okay to give a false name.)
If your grandmother gives you an sweater with snowmen and jingle bells on it...go right ahead and say that you like it.
Hey Sheri, "Does my butt look big in this?"..... Lie and make it convincing.
When mom calls you while out on a friday night and asks where you are....tell her the Library, she'll never know it is a club.
If your BFF asks what direction Mr. Right was walking, it is okay to throw her off the track so that you can talk to him first.
***Notice, these are all situations where no one really gets hurt. Honesty, still the best way to go. It is always better to know than not know.

j'lo, j'lo, j'lo...that's all I have to say.
PS - Ain't nothin wrong with a little junk in the trunk!
Okay roommate of new and old, this is not an open discussion about my butt.
It's not OK to lie when someone asks if they have bad breath. They really want to know, and you'd be doing the world a great favor by freshining their breath.
Adam, you have bad breath.
ha ha...just kidding...I have never smelled your breath.
Thanks for telling me. I appreciate knowing this information.
I came to this realization once I was through crying in the fetal position in my bathtub for a few hours.
Thanks, no really, thanks.
