Stay away from changing something small like numbers(i.e. I drank five Dr. Peppers when you really drank six) Here is an example of one of my stories. Can you guess which part is the lie? I worked at a water park called Big Splash in high school and college. One summer we had a Justin Bieber concert where I worked security. I was Justin Biebers body guard the whole night and when all the fans left he asked to go swimming. Since I was a lifeguard there, I was on duty while Justin and his friends swam in our wave pool. Whats your guess?… Well the answer is that I was not a life guard. Justin did swim but I was not his life guard. The rest of the story is true! HOW TO PLAY CHOOSE CONTESTANTS.
