Dang I screwed that up. Iā€™m betting **FCM** never was a girl scout so that is a truth. The lie is she never got a speeding ticket. You leadfoot you! šŸ˜ƒ ---

I canā€™t picture her sitting around a campfire since her idea of roughing it is a hotel without room service. šŸ˜› Wait - Iā€™m confused here. I said I never was a girl scout and you say my lie is that I was never a girl scout? Is that a double negative or are you drinking on the job?? ---

> [@Paul in Saudi](#): > > 1. I have lived in Saudi Arabia for seven years. > 2. My wife is in Panama. > 3. I own an old Mercedes. This could be a trick. Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™ve read that your wife is in Panama, and itā€™s no stretch to think you own an old Mercedes, especially in an arab country. I know you live in Saudi but perhaps youā€™ve been there 8 years? Or 6? ---

I donā€™t think you have ridden a duck, **Mayflower** , unless itā€™s in _that_ way. And **Rico** I would say number one is false, unless Arnie was a member of your club, of course. Do me, do me: 1. I have practised Witchcraft 2. I have never kissed a girl (or guy for that matter) 3. I was once a vegetarian ---

I think #3 is false, **gobear** , because I canā€™t see you being able to score drugs in China, especially not smuggling them in. **AngelicGemma** if number one is true, are you studying at Lincoln Uni? Because I swear that your location was Yorkshire, not Lincolnshire and if so, Iā€™ll be studying there this September. ---
