Several
older men were talking about the greatest liars they had ever seen. One said,
"I know a boy who lied so often he had to get someone else to call his
dog for him." "That's nothing," said another, "I know a
man who constantly lied on the golf course. He was so used to shaving points
off his score that one day when he got a hole in one, he put a zero on his card
out of force of habit" That's nothing said a third, "My preacher said
that last Sunday we had between four and five hundred. I told him I only counted
125. He said, 'That's between four and five hundred.'"
