Never lie. It will you look bad.
I was making a deposit in a local First Tennessee branch recently, when I noticed that they had some nifty hats placed on top of the counter. They appeared to be free. I asked the teller, and he said that they were free if you applied for a credit card. Well, I filled out a credit card application using bogus information (I didn't want the credit card), and left with a new hat. I nice one, I should mention.
Anyway, some time goes by and my wife and I decide that we are going to open up a second account at Amsouth. So we pull up, and I realize that I'm wearing the First Tennessee hat. I mention it to her, and we both agree that it would be too weird to go into Amsouth with the hat on, so I take it off.
Well, the only problem with taking the hat off is that it was about 95 degrees outside and my hair wasn't pretty. My hair kinda looked like I had just gotten back from the battle of Gettysburg, or something. No matter what I did, I still looked like an idiot. The hat had come back to get me.
As we met with the teller at Amsouth, I couldn't help notice her looking at my bad coiff. She never said anything. She didn't have to.
Again. Never lie. It will make you look bad. Literally.
