There's that word "fine" again. Rarely used in a truthful situation.

You'll find that we cats don't lie. If we don't like something, we'll let you know. You KNOW we do!

The latest Lie! That picture on Soapy's blog. I have enlarged it to show who it REALLY is!

OldHorsetailSnake said...

I am such a good boy, I only use one of these: "I didn't do it."

See, I know I didn't do it because I don't do ANYTHING.

TLP said...

J.D.: yeah, fine whatever.

ChatCat: Yep. You never said you loved me.

Shirazi: No! I missed that.

Mike: Somehow, I just knew that.

Doug: You sleep too late.

Wooo Devil: I'll be right over.

Hoss: I'm not buyin' that. You've been married 5 times. You've got to have used half of these lines.

Acton Bell: You can tell me anything. I can keep a secret.

Sar said...

Wow, TLP, that's a mighty pretty comprehensive list, good job. I had my in-laws staying here over the weekend, so I have these additions to offer:

No, I don't mind if you watch Fox News and The O'Rielly Factor in my house (*turning away to hide grimace*).

--followed by--

Boy I'm really tired, think I'll turn in early and call it a night (*grabbing the laptop on the way upstairs*).

I think the biggest lie still is:
"Waiter, I´d like to pay now!"

dddragon said...

lol, Sar, I've used similar lines, too!

Lila said...

Thanks, TLP. That was special.

Anonymous said...

Oh, a couple of these really push my buttons!!!

The Lazy Iguana said...

Great list. I might have used a few of those lines.

Some more often than others. I will leave the details as to which lines a mystery.

BarbaraFromCalifornia said...

Love your humor.

How about, "the price of gas will go down." or

Our country is better off today than it was 5 years ago.
