It was marked "OT" as in "off-topic". If you didn't want to read it you

Oprah does a lot of good works, but she also has told many versions of
her early pregnancy and giving birth. Today she gave back-flip of her
hand and said, "I don't know, I've never been pregnant". I have heard
her on earlier shows saying that she had a baby at an early age (12 or
13) that was (version #1) "born dead" or (version #2) "died later".
Now, according to her, it never happened at all.
Moral: Don't lie on TV. It will catch up with you.

combined"?

I have to disagree with that. I think most(all) of us have told a lie at
some point. Does that mean we are all devoid of integrity?

Most of us have told a lie or stretched the truth in cases like "Honest
officer, I thought I was doing only 45". OTOH, when you are telling lies to
further your career, make money you could not otherwise, or make others
think you are something you are no for the same reasons, you have no
integrity.

Most of our politician, for instance, have none.

Honest to God, this is a whimsical question. I don't know how to state it
so it'll come across that way, though. Truly, I was chuckling as I
thought, "It's okay to lie when in assists you in breaking the law?"
Please don't take this as a challenge or a put-down. I'm a little punchy
right now, and I just thought the example was hilarious. I'm sure it won't
be funny if/when I get a good night's sleep. 🙂

It is sort of funny, but most all of us have done it. Yes, it is breaking
the law, but no, it does not cause anyone else physical or financial harm.

Most of us consider ourselves law abiding citizens, but yet we will drive 5
or 10 mph above the posted limit.

Not me. What I said the other night was, "Oh gosh -- I was going with
the traffic flow." What he really wanted to know was if I was belted in
(I was, as is my habit) -- he SAID so -- but he could only stop me for
a moving violation. Gave me a warning for the speeding and I thanked
him for his consideration. If I'd had a jar of jam in the car, I'd have
given it to him. :-)
