I don't think that, that is lying so much as averting, an akward comversation. I don't lie so much as just feed people a bunch of bulls*** just to get them going, eventually I always come clean. For instance, my mom is from Hungary, so she an Eastern European accent, it's not very pronounced, she came here when she was months old. Anyway, I used to tell my one friend that she was a former communist, and had to come to the states to hide from the soviets. I had this dude going for weeks, It was great. Other than that I have nothing to lie about, except my sister, she's been down on everything but the titanic, we all just lie about her and pretend she is a good catholic girl, virgin and all.
