When Honesty is NOT the Best Policy

Be a lying bastard. Sometimes being honest or loving and caring with the missus doesn't work. Eg: "Does my bum look big in this?" If you are honest, "Yes". Loving & caring: "I love you just the way you are." Either she won't believe that garbage, or she will know that you really mean yes. Keep her happy and say no. Be nice & be a lying bastard.

For a story about a guy who is very rough around the edges and wouldn't hestitate to be honest in the above situation, and yet would appear to have a heart, (even if it is slightly out of place), check out the romantic comedy, Loosely Translated.

When Maria has to translate a detective series into Spanish, she is so disgusted that someone could publish such trash while she is struggling to get published herself, that she decides to very loosely translate the book. The trouble begins when her version is a bestseller and she gets to meet her enemy, the English author, who might not be as bad as she thought. How long will it be before he finds out what she has done? The only thing worse would be to fall for the charms of that pig. But that's never going to happen...

If that sounds like your cup of tea, buy me a couple of beers - that's about how much the book costs, and you'll get that warm, fuzzy feeling of helping out an indie author. Cheers!
