Let's play, Can you spot the lie?
List three things about yourself. Two are true, one is a lie. People have to guess the lie. I'll go first.

1. I can fly a plane
2. I had dinner with Princess Diana
3. I've never had a speeding ticket or other moving violation

Well, which is it?

You can also pose your own question.

4. You are wrong
Chuck and Di were in Vancouver for Expo 86. I was at a youth banquet for them. I was seated at the table next to hers. She pigged out on cookies (fancy cookies.)

23. Didn't Di have a fainting episode while in Vancouver?
I think I remember that. There were all these rumors about an eating disorder.

25. She did. It was actually the day of this banquet
We weren't sure if she was going to show up.

Charles actually teased her a bit about it during his speech. My chair was right by the podium, so she was looking in my direction during the speech. I gave her a sympathetic smile, which she seemed to appreciate.

The comments were shown on one version of her A&E Biography (to show the problems with Charles.) I could be seen in the background. My brief shot at fame.

I took her menu from the table, as a souvenir.

27. Charles was always an oaf
Teasing -- just another word for ridiculing.
Poor woman.

7. WOOHOO!
Somehow, the first 2 seemed just outside the norm enough to be true, and #3 was rather ordinary! This reminds me of the game show from when I was a kid called "To Tell The Truth". :-)

5. Odd. Two of those things are true of me also.
I think #3 is a lie. Lots of people can fly planes, lots of people have "had dinner" with Princess Diana (if you count some huge event she was at with a whole lot of others), but no moving violations is unusual.

14. #2!
Your birthday was recently, so I know #1 is true.

If #2 is true, you would scare off DU!

And if #3 is true, I am flying into DFW soon! :D

I think you voted for Bush in a previous election, but you now regret it.
