Whoa - "When is it okay to lie?" - did plinky just take a bunch of serious pills?

Still - I believe it is ok to lie to promote excitement and risk-taking for people who, if they had all the correct facts in front of them, would perhaps decide not to try and ski down a black slope you have told them is a gentle green.

One time I told Cristina that a sandwich was just plain ham, when in fact it had mustard on it - she hates mustard - but I lied and she ate the sandwich, called me a dick and never trusted any food I gave her since that picnic in the park.

Fact: Funny shit happens when we tell people small little white lies to make them do something.

Also - we Brits have this thing called 'sarcasm'. What happens is we tell a lie, and then instead of shouting "PSYCH!!!", we enjoy a long silence, then we recognise the lie that was told, we have a laugh then go back to normalit.
