I have a firm "No friggin' way" position on lying. I've told some lies in the past, usually just for amusement to see how long it takes people to catch on (I made some friends believe I was from Germany; my surname's scandinavian if you go back twelve generations or so, thus I convinced a few people for a while. It was quite funny.) but other than that I cannot stand lying to people; it tends to gnaw slowly on my conscience. If I do, I have to really hate them.
Besides, you should never, ever, under any circumstances, apologise for being honest; usually a white lie is just telling a person what they want to hear, no?
