« on: May 22, 2008, 03:45:22 PM »

     I had to make my deadbeat phone calls today. You know, "Mrs X, we finished your job 3 months ago, and you owe us $Y.  When can we expect a check?"
     I do this once every couple of months or so, and today I got hit with the classic "The check is in the mail." line. twice.
So it started me thinking. I know that those checks haven't even been written yet, much less mailed, and the deadbeats have to know that I know.
Anyway, I started compiling a list of the lies everyone hears so often they've become joke taglines.
Here's what I've got so far:

The check's in the mail.

I'm from the government, I'm here to help you.

I'll only put it in a little bit.

I only want a little bite.

The natives are friendly.

     And for all the service and ex-service:

Don't worry, it's a cold LZ.


    Any help in adding to this list?
