My dad lies. Like constantly about the weirdest things. He claims he fought in Vietnam (while he DID serve in the Navy during 'nam, he was never stationed there.), he claims he wrote (insert famous song title here)...in spite of the fact that information like that's pretty easy to look up. He gets PISSED if you call him on it. Once he called me a smartass after arguing with him for like 20 minutes that the planet mars is not hundreds of lightyears away, it's less than one. (The nearest star other than our sun is only 4 lightyears away)
