1. I have six nipples. 2. My sister has webbed toes. 3. My wife has an extra, tiny thumb. **flatlined** , I’m guessing #3. because that is a physical impossibility (plus it’s too specific). ---

1 - I’m distantly related to Ray Kroc, founder of McDonald’s 2 - I once served a pizza to George Bush Sr. 3 - I’m almost blind in my right eye. **Rich Mann** #1 is the lie I believe. ---

1. I am an Internet Celebrity 2. I am not an Internet Celebrity 3. I might be an Internet Celebrity Hmm… I don’t think I did that right. 1. I have never seen the _Godfather_ movies. 2. I have watched the movie _Ever After_ at least 15 times. 3. I have all the _Star Wars_ movies in every form ever domestically released - VHS, Beta, Laserdisc, DVD, and BluRay. ---

Sorry, **Alpha Twit** , but the truth is that my wife does not have an extra thumb. Her parents had it removed when she was small, but she still has the adult incisor embedded in her hard palette from the motorbike accident when she was eight. As to your claims; I find it hard to believe that Huge Insane Berserk Warthog has ever eaten pizza. And, **Guanolad** , you’re an internet celebrity to me! ---

1. When I first turned up for a rehearsal in our newly formed village band, I managed to play a surprising number of notes despite, in my innocence, holding the trumpet with the wrong hand. 2. I’ve sung in the same concert as bass soloist, baritone soloist, tenor soloist and counter-tenor soloist. 3. As a fund-raising effort for our church’s new organ, I played a hundred hymn tunes at a sitting and from memory. ---

My dentist says I will die with all my remaining 28 teeth in my mouth. I’ve been in five auto accidents in my life without suffering a single injury. I have not had health insurance for five years. ---

The first one’s gotta be false-no dentist can make that guarantee. ---

As a fund-raising effort for our church’s new organ, I played a hundred hymn tunes at a sitting and from memory. I have to go with number one being the lie - if you don’t know how to play the trumpet, it probably doesn’t matter which hand you hold it with! Trombone, maybe. Number 2 just sounds too awesome to be made up. If it is, well played, if I’m right and it’s true, well sung! Number 3 is also very impressive - but believable, as most hymn tunes are fairly straightforward to learn. Did your performance include full pedalling? Three for me: 1. I have played croquet on four continents; 2. I messed up on a maximum break (147) in a club snooker match by going in-off on the final black; 3. I played football (soccer) every year for 16 years and only ever scored 2 goals in competition. ---

> [@lorene](#): > > [ol] > [li]I had dinner with Cab Calloway once.[/li][li]I met Ellen DeGeneres before she was famous.[/li][li]I met Leonard Nimoy after he was famous.[/li][/ol] This is a tough one. I know several people who had dinner with Cab Calloway (his next door neighbor wasn’t one of them). I also know someone who met Ellen DeGeneres before she was famous, depending on the definition of famous. So I’m left with meeting Spock, though that is the most likely to be true in general. ---
