Dinners and Lies
Last night I went to one of those executive dinner work things where you have to play the political game. It was in a private dining room in a restaurant and there were about thirty or so people there. We all sat at a large U-shaped table. While we waited for the food, we were asked to play a game where everyone had to tell two truths and one lie about yourself and the rest had to guess the lie by raising hands. The first one to guess ten lies correctly would win. See if you can guess my lie.
1. I once had tea with Julie Andrews
2. I have been kissed by Julio Iglesias.
3. I have recorded a salsa album.
I´m sorry Heidi, but that album doesn´t exist.

The answer is A.
If I recall correctly you met with her and had a lovely chat but you did not have tea. In fact, back then you did not even LIKE tea.
We all know Julio kissed you on the nose at the Miami airport and called you the cutest little girl. I on the other hand did not get a kiss, I must definitely be a troll.
AND we all know you recorded vocals on the Tropical Sweet Caribe album with Mr. Arthur when you were about 16 right? I can hear it now, I said I loved you bei-bei, I love you just the way you aaaaaaaaaaaaare. Wasn't it played on the Teleton 20-30?

Ahh ha! I totally screwed up Austin there! It's the tea thing, right? Am I right? What'd I win?

Dear Lord. If Michelle is not sure ... Then nobody could get it at that dinner if it wasn´t just by chance (1 in 3, 33% is a lot.)
By the way, Michelle, you are not a troll. I think you are the cutest girl now.

ANSWER:
1) I did in fact have tea with Julie Andrews. It's true I didn't like tea in those days, but if Julie Andrews offered you tea would you say no? I don't think so!
2) LIE: Julio Iglesias did not kiss me, he merely pinched my nose
3) This is true. I recorded a salsa album with a band called Tropical Sweet Caribe when I was about 15 or 16 years old. We only sold about 160 copies on vinyl!
