A Lawyer's story
A lawyer, who had 12 children needed to move because the rental agreement on their house was terminated by the owner, who wanted to reoccupy the home.
When he said he had 12 children, no one would rent a home to him because they felt that the children would destroy the place. He couldn't say he had no children because he couldn't lie (as we all know, lawyers cannot, and do not lie) so he sent his wife for a walk to the cemetery with 11 of their kids.
He took the remaining one with him to see rental homes with the real estate agent.
He loved one of the homes and the price was right.
The agent asked:" How many children do you have?"
He answered: "Twelve."
The agent asked, "Where are the others?"
The lawyer, with his best courtroom sad look, answered, "They're in the cemetery with their mother."
Moral of this story:
It's not necessary to lie; one has only to choose the right words.
Don't forget, many politicians are lawyers...

Or as a friend told me, "You should tell the truth, but not the absolute truth."

And say as little as possible.
"Do you know what time it is?"
"Yes."
Of course, you can always fall back on the old reliable, "I don't recall."

Not quite on topic but I wonder why people ask “What time is it now?”
