no no no.. this is completely different I think. But maybe it isnt. When Im telling these lies.. they are more like a weird form of a joke. The person Im lieing to is almost always let in on the fact that its a lie. The object is never to impress someone, but instead to make them laugh. Sometimes its the most fun when you dont let them in on the fact that its a lie, but you know 100% that someone will spill the beans.
A good example of this: I was just starting to see this girl in highschool. My ethnicity is not really easy to pinpoint, I could pass for any number of races. So one day she was talking to one of my best friends and asked him what race I was. He explained that I liked to tell people I was half black and half white, but really I was pakistani... but because of 9/11 this embarassed me. I think it was like 6months to a year later, she saw a picture of my dad who is very black(she had met my mom who is obv white.. but just assumed my dad was pakistani) and this was such an epic mind fuck. When she explained the confusion to me I laughed for like 30 minutes.
p.s. I was super drunk when I made this thread early this morning.
