"I don't think this is the time to lie. Boldly tell the truth and decline to go. "
One does not have to tell the truth, if the same [behavioral] result could be accomplished with less load on the subsequent relationship, whatever that relationship might be. Besides, somebody said that a little hypocrisy is what greases the wheels of life and makes it more bearable. Thus, in hypocrisy, in lying, like in everything else, including telling the truth, there must be some optimal measure, and one would not go wrong by sticking to it. Nothing to excess: one politburo member [pun intended] was suffering from bed wetting. He was pissed off [another pun intended] at it, and took a hypnosis treatment course. The treatment proved out to be so successful that after it he could not urinate even during daytime, and burst. Thus, nothing to excess, even truthfulness.

Now that is the most idiotic argument I've ever heard.
OK, maybe not the MOST idiotic but idiotic none the less. Is there a right time to murder a little. Or take the Lord's name in vain. Perhaps sleep with your neighbors wife just for the minute you need to.....OK you get my drift.
