I know someone from California who went to a local McDonalds and ordered a hot fudge sundae. The counter person said "Please.." He responded... "I would like a hot fudge sundae, please."

To tell you the truth.... That happens usually when we are forced into a corner and all our defenses and manners have run out. So, when we are going to unload our real feelings... we say. "To tell you the truth..." My same friend said the first time that happened, he wanted to respond... "And you've lying to me up until now..." No, but we are about to be brutually honest.
