I'm all for the Truthiness Doctrine.

However....
Two Truths/One Lie:
1. I first flew a plane at age 18.
2. I had a small character based on me in a mystery novel set in Key West.
3. I was once clinically dead for 3.7 minutes.

(thumbified. I want to believe you're a wild woman.)
i flew a plane when i was 10 (ok, i pulled the stick and stomped on the peddles as my cousin laughed at my sister turning green).
And i was intellectually dead for 4 years (some say i still am). So being clinically dead is reasonable.

It's not 3 to seven minutes. It's three point seven minutes.
2. I have that novel. It's one of my favorite but the names escapes right now. (True)
3. I can only hold my breath for 1.3 minutes (I apologize if this turns out to be True)...(False)
Rated & Cheers!
#3 is the lie? If not, how was it?
BUT when was it how was it when's the next one???
I'll check yours tomorrow, you check mine.
A character in a mystery novel set in Key West? hmm. okay I'll buy that.
Dead for 3,7 minutes struck me as odd as it did another commenter. Americans can't think in tenths. They just don't. If you'd said 3 minutes and 10 seconds I might have believed this one. But that's not what you said so I think this is THE LIE.
Number One.
2. Had a most passionate first and one and only "date" - more like a bacchanal - with a novelist from Key West who happened to be the brother of a good friend. (I should write about our passion play, it was amazing, truly one for the books.) We tried - well, he tried - to keep up our relationship via correspondence - this was before the internet - and ultimately put me in a novel. Named me Sheila, 'cause I always wanted to move to Australia back then.
3. You got me here. I do think in terms of decimal points, and probably should have said "over three minutes" or something more vague. Frankly, I'm glad I haven't died. Yet.
