"I really don't know."
"Does your father know?"
"Do I know if he knows?"
"If you did would you tell me?"
"If he said that I could."
"If he said that you couldn't?"
"I would say I don't know."
"As you're saying right now. At least you're truthful."
"I try."
"Even when you lie. There's a paradox there. We are talking in circles."
"I went to divinity school."
(Followed a few lines down by the quote in my .sig.)
Sorry about the OT post, but I just had to do this after Robert's
comments about salesmen. Karma points for the first to tell me where this
is from and which people are involved in this discussion.

We never choose to be anything but truthful. It's right there in our
