Bullshit and BullshittersWe've had questions about lies and liars in the past, but this time we're asking about the sort of fantasist who constantly claims they've got a helicopter in the garden or was "second onto the balcony at the Iranian Embassy siege". Tell us about the cobblers you've been told, or the complete lies you've come out with.
Thanks to dozer for the suggestion

NoBecause telling me you have "crushing retro-sternal pains" in those words would automatically set off my bullshit alarm as it sounds like you've been reading a medical textbook..... and you'd get a kick in the nadgers. (For purely medical purposes only) The way to do it is say "ooh, it's a terrible pain. It feels like someone's sitting on my chest. And also if you can fake ST elevation in V1-V4 with reciprocal ischaemia in II, III and aVf then you can get all the free morphine you want. On the other hand, the angioplasty (where they stick a wire in your femoral vein - yep, the one next to your balls) is not a pleasant step.

I had to do a bit of googling there!I suppose I could raise my heart-rate by conjuring up some anxious thoughts (not too hard for a neurotic type like me!) but I'd be stuck on the reciprocal ischaemia...
I could always join the army - they carry morphine in the field... Have you ever been fooled into administering analgesia by a cunning opiate-fiend?
