Here’s a protip — the easiest way to bench press five hundred pounds is to just lie and tell people you do. The world’s oldest and best performance enhancer works like a charm!

Five hundred? Nine hundred? A million? These numbers mean nothing to most folks so just say the highest one you can think of. Same goes for test scores, IQs, you name it. Just lie!

LOL. It sounds like you've taken contemporary political trends to heart.

Certainly popular today but always a great tool in the political toolkit!

Baffle em with bullshit, send thoughts and prayers, lie like a rug, or just smile and quote Abe Lincoln while you stick a foot in the door

Go, party of Lincoln! We have Newt Gingrich to thank for a lot of that. There's a great, short chapter in The Unwinding about that. I don't know if you've read it. If not, I'll take some shots of those pages and send them in a few minutes.
