I'm so glad OE gave us all a fun writing assignment since I haven't posted anything in ages!

So, here are 3 statements about me -- one is a lie. Which one is it?

I'll cough-up the answer tomorrow night (May 1) around 9:30 p.m. or so.

1. I dated a NJ Congressman

2. I used to have 107 pen pals

3. An angry man tried to run me down with his pickup truck

1 & 3 are true (especially 3...you do live in Jersey...land of the angry drivers).

2 is a lie...you had more than 107 pen pals.

Crap. I get the feeling it's 3.

#1 is totally true. #3- I didn't mean any harm, so #2 is a lie. I did good, didn't I?

Did you have 108 pen pals?

3? Wow, if not, that's a story for a whole big post.

Cindy, I'll go with #3 because I can't imagine that anyone could ever be angry at you over anything!

I think Number 2 is the lie. (this is cool - like that old game show, "To Tell The Truth" - is that the one where the guest has done something that the panel has to guess?).
I met you and so think you probably did date a Congressman, and don't have time to have 107 pen pals, and you live in NY where people are always trying to run each other down. So that's my guess.

What do we win if we guess right???
