Is it a truth or are you trying to entertain people?

Sounds like you were given short end of stick too many times or are you being facetious?

Just being honest. As a manager have had to listen to BS that sometimes almost defied categorisation - and the categories range from simple fibs, through outright fantasy, to utter lies. It took me a few months to learn to look at EVERYTHING with a jaundiced eye.
Example - to contractor - "you are missing out large chunks of the seismic lines in your search for bombs" contractor answers - "yeah but don't worry, there is nothing there". "how do you know?" ... "We just know"
