Lying to Your Spouse - A Guide to Mastering the Art

Step 1: Start with a good foundation

Make sure your spouse is in a state of heightened gullibility, preferably after a few too many glasses of wine.

• Gaze intently into their eyes
• Use a soothing tone
• Avoid any sudden movements

Step 2: Choose Your Lie Wisely

Consider the severity of the fib, and the likelihood of discovery

Will your spouse be understanding and forgiving, or will they unleash the wrath of a thousand midnights?

• Be prepared for the consequences
• Have a good alibi ready
• A little white lie never hurt anyone, or so I've heard

Step 3: Deliver the Lie with Confidence

Speak clearly, and with conviction, like you're trying to sell a used car

• Use body language to your advantage
• Maintain eye contact, but not too much
• A smile can go a long way
