It's official: men are bigger liars than women

At least in Britain:
In a poll of 3,000 people, researchers found that the average British man tells three lies every day, that's equivalent to 1,092 a year.

However the average woman appears more honest, lying 728 times a year - around twice a day.

Top lies for men:
1. I didn't have that much to drink
2. Nothing's wrong, I'm fine
3. I had no signal
4. It wasn't that expensive
5. I'm on my way
6. I'm stuck in traffic
7. No, your bum doesn't look big in that
8. Sorry, I missed your call
9. You've lost weight
10. It's just what I've always wanted


Top lies for women:
1. Nothing's wrong, I'm fine
2. I don't know where it is, I haven't touched it
3. It wasn't that expensive
4. I didn't have that much to drink
5. I've got a headache
6. It was in the sale
7. I'm on my way
8. Oh, I've had this ages
9. No, I didn't throw it away
10. It's just what I've always wanted

That's the top 10 lies that men tell and there's no room for "I promise I won't come in your mouth"?

:o)

for women:

'Somebody hit it while I was parked at the supermarket'

Your kidding right? Currently Victoria's Secret is advertising they have a bra that "instantly adds 2 cup sizes". If that isn't walking around every breathing moment of the day in an perpetual lie, I don't know what is.
