    2 truths and a lie

    I'll make 3 statements, 2 are true and one is false, can you spot the lie?

    I have flown a plane

    I own 4 swords

    I can speak 3 languages


    If you guess right, it's your turn.

    OK, that's the lie. Right?

    No, actually it's not. I have flown a plane, I've never landed one but I didn't claim that. My dad had his private pilot's licence when I was younger and we had a little 4-seater and once he got up in the air, the controls and steering wheel were ours to do with as we pleased. I had planned on getting my own pilot's licence but he sold the plane before I had the chance and renting air time is insanely expensive.

    The lie is the language thing, there was a time when I spoke 2 languages, but sadly, it's now down to one.

    Now it's your turn...

    OK, which is the lie:

    I was born in Italy

    I have a son and a daughter.

    I have a yellow labrador receiver.

    Hmmm Virgil - you may well have a yellow labrador retriever, but I doubt that you have
    a yellow labrador receiver.
    - so I guess that's the lie??

    Yeah, I don't know how I did that. My mind is not working well this evening. But that is true, I do have a yellow lab.

    The lie is that I have a son and daughter. I don't have any children.

    OK, now you go.

    Exclamation

    Well, no one ever answered the last one, so I'll give you two truths and a lie. And be sure to remember with Pendragon, nothing is ever quite what it seems.

    1.) I choose to live my life since I became disabled vicariously through a seemingly endless string of fictional characters created by my very imaginative IQ.

    2.) I have been accused on more than one occasion of being psychic.

    3.) I graduated in the top ten of my class in high school and summa cum laude for my AAS degree.

    Good luck!
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    At severe personal risk, I will challenge the third statement.

    Same here. Penny's 3rd statment is less convincing than the other 2
