I'm a big ol' fibber. When I tell a lie, it's notable because it is so
rare. At ALDI, they mark meat that is one day before its last sale date
down 50%. I told the manager that I found a package of meat that had
missed its markdown. He asked me if the date was today or tomorrow. I
lied and said tomorrow. If I had told the truth, I wouldn't have been
able to buy it, and it would have gone into the dumpster. He told me
the cashier would take the 50% off. I told her that the manager said
she'd do the markdown at the register. She looked at the date, and
didn't question it, but just did it. I have lived on the street and
been hungry. I am horrified by wasting food. Still, it feels weird to
have lied.

You haven't lived on the street. You're too much of a coward for that.

Bryan is from the gutter; close enough.
