Dude, if you're gonna lie

You may or may not have seen this story.

To summarize; a guy went though life claiming he'd written the swimwear based classic 'Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini' when he was 19, to the extent that it appeared in his obituary after he died the other day. It was only after the guy who actually wrote it started receiving concerned phonecalls that the fraudster guy's friends and relatives found him out.

Now in the ten seconds after I read that article, I'd already thought of eighteen million better lies the guy could have told to make himself look good. Here's a sample few from about halfway down the list:

9,116,873) Say you were the creator of Hungry Hungry Hippos
9,116,874) Say you were the first person to run slowly and call it 'jogging'
9,116,875) Say Gene Roddenberry was originally going to cast Captain Kirk as an effeminate coward with no confidence around women and below average starship captaining skills until you stepped in and set him straight.
9,116,876) Say you didn't write Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weenie Yellow Polka Dot Bikini

There's an obvious moral to this story: That song licks balls.
