I'd prefer friendly bluntness over smiling fakery - as long as
   it's in a trusted group - but I can handle white lies. Big
   things? Well, I've been around enough big liars to read through
   it all and not care about most of what someone says. Some people
   are storytellers and like telling tall tales. As long as I'm
   entertained, I don't care, but when I spot one, I know right
   then never to do business with them.
