They open their mouths.

No seriously, we all, mostly lie. Stop and think about it for a second.

It could be just a simple thing to make an otherwise humdrum experience seem interesting. No harm no foul. But there it is, its a lie.

Heck, even my dog lies. He overplays the negative to get sympathy... and more food and petting.

Children lie. A lot. If you have a child, you know what I mean.

So yea, just open your mouth. That's how you can tell.

I disagree. That's one of the oldest falsehoods in psychology. Sure, there are some people who lie all the time, but that's more of a symptom than a universal behavior.

This really sold it to me right here.
