"Lie to me" thread game

[pam]

It seems to me that #1 is by far the biggest stretch:D Doesn't everyone play on navy carriers as part of Junior High Phys Ed these days? My guess is you had dinner with Bob Hope, but not THE Bob Hope, just a name doppleganger.

#1 is the lie.

I had the opportunity to be the guest of an admiral onboard the USS Kitty Hawk while they were out at sea. We flew out on a Navy C-2 aircraft. Did the arrested landing and then the catapult launch off the carrier at the end of the day heading home.

I did have dinner with THE Bob Hope. I was president of the volunteer association at the USO in San Diego. We had a fundraising dinner where he was the guest of honor and I sat at the head table with him and his wife.

Oh and I did study history...just not at San Diego State.

Slamjet #3 is the lie.

1. I have killed and eaten rattlesnakes.

2. I like to snow ski.

3. I only sleep 4 hours at a time.

#2 is the lie. I imagine you catch rattlesnakes with your bare hands. And you probably patrol your property every three hours to make sure the electric fence hasn't been tampered with .

1. I have a baseball signed by Dale Murphy

2. I won a street race against a BMW driving a pickup

3. I dated a stripper

[Vort]

actually--that was the lie. I spent nearly 7 years in korea, 4 months in hong kong, and 3 months in the philippines--only 3 days in japan, and no jail time.

PC lies!! I knew it!!!

well played :)

3. I only sleep 4 hours at a time.

Hmmm... I'm thinking #2 is the lie - you are more the Xtreme Snowboarder type.

My wife's experiences are much more interesting than mine:

1. My wife is three steps removed from the Sicilian mafia.

2. My wife was once stabbed in the leg by a bad guy before the cops arrived.

3. In 2012, my wife spent the night alone with a drunken lesbian, and came home around 5 am smelling of alcohol. On a school night.

[Just_A_Guy]

LM, I'm going to guess 1).

For me:

1. I turned down a role in 1997's Titanic.

2. I once met US three senators, two congressmen, an apostle, and a Supreme Court Justice in a single evening.

3. I first kissed my wife on our wedding day.

[Bini]

Jag, #3...

[Just_A_Guy]

Yup. #1 - I was a member of the Titanic Historical Society and members were invited to come down to Mexico and be extras. #2 - a kickoff dinner for ConSource.org where Senators Smith (OR), Hatch, and Bennett (UT), Congressmen Bennett and Matheson (Utah), Elder Oaks, and Justice Sandra O'Connor were present (I was more-or-less randomly selected to go as a representative of the U of U law school, which I was attending at the time). #3 - My wife and I were each other's first kisses, but well before wedding day.

[Guest]

Actually #3 can't be a lie, because you didn't kiss your wife before your wedding day. You kissed your fiancee, and before that your girlfriend, but before your wedding day, you didn't have a wife to kiss (I hope).

[mirkwood]

#2 was the lie.

Actually, #2 is the lie. The cops were on scene at the time the fight broke out.

Glad I married her. If I had to come up with a list, it would be like my favorite color and what food I like to eat, and you all would be "you don't like red" and I'd be all "haha I really do, it's that I like pizza more." Much better stories from her.

I don't see one that isn't answered so I will just place my three.

1. I drank turpentine when I was a toddler

2. I had Dinner at President Hinckley's ranch with his family.

3. I have tried the famous "monkey brain" desert shown in Indiana Jones. Nasty!

Mine isn't answered, which I take as a sign that people here think all three of them at true.

I'm guessing #2 is the lie. But only because I don't see President Hinckley being the steer roping type.

#1 is a lie. I bet Dale Murphy doesn't even know ASL.

Quite right. Although I have met Dale Murphy, and did have him sign a baseball, I sent the ball to a former mission companion as a peace offering. I had been a total jack....jerk to him but also remembered how much he liked baseball.

I can neither confirm nor deny Mr. Murphy's knowledge of ASL though.

That was very thoughtful of you. I hope he accepted your offering.

[MarginOfError]

I haven't the slightest idea. I never received confirmation that he received it and have never tried to contact him since. It seemed to me that this was a relationship that was better left forgotten.

[Traveler]

Try these:

#1. I was hunted down and arrested by the FBI as the prime suspect in a bank robbery / murder while serving as an LDS missionary.

#2. I was unknowingly (initially unknowingly) involved in a effort by a Soviet spy to obtain classified information about a project I was working on.

#3. I spent a day shoveling B S with a congressman (US Senator) and an army general.

#3 is my lie. #2 was quite intimidating since I was about 15 years old. And my family always says "it's not his fault he drank turpentine when we was younger" when I say or do something goofy. :) apparently I almost died.

[Traveler]

Actually--that was the lie. I spent nearly 7 years in Korea, 4 months in Hong Kong, and 3 months in the Philippines--only 3 days in Japan, and no jail time.

I would have guessed #3 because the Japanese do not make many mistakes and if they ever do they will never admit it. So I would believe over night or a couple of week - but 3 days just did not seem right.

[Bini]

Traveller, #3.

[mirkwood]

This is kind of fun.

1. I have visited every state except Alaska and Hawaii.

2. I have been to Pres. Monson's house many times.

3. I played on a soccer team that went 30-1 and scored over 40 goals.

[Swiper]

Mirkwood: Number 3 seems too obvious ... I pick number 2.

1. I have a painting by Boyd K. Packer hanging in my living room.

2. I hang out with members from Al-Qaeda once a month.

3. I proposed to my wife after dating online for a month and without seeing her in real life first.

I hope it's number 2.

Mine:

1. I was on television several times.

2. I ate shark and loved it.

3. I did horrible in high school.
