Under the Wire

There is one thing almost every man will lie about. He will give you a straight answer to just about any question you ask except for the one “magical” question. What is it that will turn normally credible, straight forward male citizens into something less than truthful people?

Gas mileage.

That’s right, you’ll never get a straight answer about how many miles per gallon the ole pickup is getting. I guess it’s some kind of macho thing among guys that clouds our judgement when the “taboo” topic comes up.

You know how it works. The guys are standing around looking at one of their newest “loves.”...
