1 Of course I’ll respect you in the morning

2 The check is in the mail

3 I’m from the government and here to help you

Any other candidates? 🤠

According to Mark Twain, there are lies, damned lies and statistics. 🤪

Sure! Here's a few that might resonate with others....

1.   I’m gonna finish that plane---soon!
2.   I only got nicked by the prop. It took less than 15 stitches to put the hamburger back inside.
3.   My Super Pro 60 stunter came out pretty light. It's only 39 ounces…no matter what that pull test guy says.

My problem here is trying to sort them by the Twain Criteria. They all look like damn lies to me....

RACING LIES:

I wasn't whipping.
I wasn't flying any higher than the other guy.
My engine is totally stock.

Those charges on the card?
Those are not model airplanes.
Those are Christmas / Birthday presents.
They’re for you.
Ok I won’t spend any more…

Wasn’t me / I didn’t do it.

I wouldn’t miss your party / BBQ for anything.

Yes I’m on my way I left the house 10 minutes ago.

No those pants don’t make you look fat (It’s not the pants).

Your child is adorable / so well behaved.

I can’t come in today I’m sick.

Your project is my top priority.

Last but not least: everybody I’ve ever worked with, 90% of their resumé, and half the things they said they were proficient in during the interview was a complete fabrication.

Got this one off of one of those T shirt adds. " I said I will fix it" You do not have to keep reminding me every six months

Two biggest lies:

People are basically good.

God is not needed.

Quote from a writeup man at the car dealer:

"Wow, I've never seen this defect before".

This won't hurt a bit.

Government for the people.

Would I lie to you?

The estimate for repair of your car is........

It doesn't pay to buy the cheapest.

Trust me I know what I'm doing.

It was due to climate change.

Slidenomics is working.

1) George Floyd was murdered

2) Joe Biden is a fit President

3) Mayor Jacob Frey has done anything other than work on destroying Minneapolis.

Just two weeks to flatten the curve.

You don't need a rudder on a control line plane.

You can do one more loop before landing.

When almost out of fuel, brother and I would shout to each other, "one more loop". Sometimes we would fall for it. Do you feel lucky, punk? Succeed and brag; fail and repaint your canopy.

"You don't need a rudder on a control line plane."

Steve, that's actually true, you don't need one.

Only one, but the greatest...
My late mother gave me this good advice for life:
"My sweet little boy, always accept everyone's word, then people will love you and you will be happy..."
Well, a lot of @#$%, Mom!

"I did do a pre-flight inspection"

Dwayne Donnelly · « **Reply #20 on:** December 12, 2023, 07:00:45 PM »

Yes I inspected my plane,
Yes I did a pull test
My Nobler only weighs 34 oz.
