It's not enough to be able to lie with a straight face; anybody with enough gall to raise on a busted flush can do that. The first way to lie artistically is to tell the truth "” but not all of it. The second way involves telling the truth, too, but is harder: Tell the exact truth and maybe all of it"¦but tell it so unconvincingly that your listener is sure you are lying. - Robert A. Heinlein
