Top Ten LIES!

Leonard Sweet, in his Soul Cafe newsletter, included this list of "Top 10 Liars' Lies":

1. We'll stay only five minutes.
2. This will be a short meeting.
3. I'll respect you in the morning.
4. The check is in the mail.
5. I'm from the government, and I'm here to help you.
6. This hurts me more than it hurts you.
7. Your money will be cheerfully refunded.
8. We service what we sell.
9. Your table will be ready in just a minute.
10. I'll start exercising (dieting, forgiving … ) tomorrow.
