While I’m not the greatest bullshit artist of all time, I just did pull off one I am pretty proud of:
In the middle of a discussion regarding the movie Leprechaun.
Co-worker: …but leprechauns aren’t real, right?
Prior: Well, they’re real, but not like in that movie.
Co-worker: Because they threw that leprechaun in a fire and he lived.
Prior: That’s an exaggeration.
Co-worker: What are they, midgets?
Prior: Kind of, but not really. They’re very small people who live under rocks and things in Ireland.
Co-worker (convinced Prior knows what he’s talking about): Do they always wear green suits?
Prior: Just on teevee and in movies. Most of them keep to themselves and don’t even interact with humans.
Co-worker: So they’re not humans.
Prior: No.
