With due acknowledgment to David Letterman and “The Late Show” here’s Pastor Paul’s top ten ways to lie (or things to watch for when you think someone might not be telling the truth).

10.  Choose a really simple lie, one that you can remember because otherwise you’ll contradict it yourself at some stage.

9.  Blame someone else, and if that fails, blame the dog.

8.  Change the subject.  (Hat tip – all politicians)

7.  Repeat this phrase, “I don’t remember.”

6.  Look the person directly in the eye when lying.

5.  Say nothing – ever.

4.  Flatly deny everything no matter what proof is forthcoming.

3.  Deny everything and claim it is all a media beat up. (Hat tip – Winston Peters)

2.  Admit to just a fraction of the lie; something you can take the heat on.

And the number 1 way to lie is…

1.  Tell the whole truth but in such a way that nobody will believe you!
