Hook, line, and sinker

I can't believe how many people actually believed that I was engaged to some Thai girl! Behold, the power of the written word. The key to a good lie is the subtle hints. To just bust out and say, "Look at me, I asked a Thai girl to marry me!" is too bold, too fast. Instead, you must be rather coy, mixing broad ideas and accute details. Anyway... good times.
