Let me tell you, it has been a fantastic month for deception.
And I'm not even talking about the American presidential race. (Laughter)
We have a high-profile journalist caught for plagiarism,
a young superstar writer whose book involves
so many made up quotes that they've pulled it from the shelves;
a New York Times exposé on fake book reviews.
It's been fantastic.
Now, of course, not all deception hits the news.
Much of the deception is everyday. In fact, a lot of research
shows that we all lie once or twice a day, as Dave suggested.
So it's about 6:30 now, suggests that most of us should have lied.
Let's take a look at Winnipeg. How many of you,
in the last 24 hours -- think back -- have told a little fib,
or a big one? How many have told a little lie out there?
All right, good. These are all the liars.
Make sure you pay attention to them. (Laughter)
No, that looked good, it was about two thirds of you.
The other third didn't lie, or perhaps forgot,
or you're lying to me about your lying, which is very,
very devious. (Laughter) This fits with a lot of the research,
