Don’t be surprised when I think you’re lying, most likely you are. If you must lie, at least make it convincing. If you’re not convincing, at least be entertaining. If you are neither entertaining or convincing or telling the truth, it is best to say nothing at all.

Who you gonna believe, me, or your lying eyes (Richard Pryor-I think)
with two people, i always ask one…. “if the other person is going to lie, what will they say?” …. and hence, you get the truth, LOL
“If the other person is going to lie…” Brilliant! I wish I had thought of that when I was working the streets.
Dave, Peoria can’t claim that line (one of my favorites). It goes back at least to Groucho Marx.
