STILL LIFE

Lair Lair!

Some people are born great. Others achieve greatness. Some are born liars. Others perfect the art.

liar lair

I believe everyone lies at some point or the other through life. I cannot remember my first lie. It’s probably when I needed to bunk school once and I faked a stomachache. I don’t think I was convincing enough, for I received such a thrashing that I developed a headache but went to school anyway. I sworn never to lie again, but that’s an old story.
 
However, I consider myself a lesser mortal. There are men who have mastered the art of lying so well they could smooth-talk you into buying your own house again. Take ad-men for instance. They could sell stones to a post-graduate and refrigerators to an Eskimo. About politicians, they say there is nothing that can come between a leader and a lie. Not even a half-truth! It was probably said for the politician: ‘I lie, therefore I am’.
 
I don’t suppose there are many women who would speak the truth either. Try asking a lady her age for instance. There is this actress you might have heard of, who claims to be in her twenties, since the last 20 years now. Then there are boys who could win medals for lying, in order to woo their Date. From fleecing money at home to bunking college for a movie and stealing smooches at shady restaurants, these Romeos can lie their way to the top.
 
The first lesson in the art of lying is to ‘deny everything’. Now you might suppose I am an expert to offer you lessons and may want to know if I lie as well?
 
"Never!"
