Funny Topper...I have never seen any of the bar girls in BKK display any of these actions.

I have a simple approach to detecting a liar  "everyone is a liar untill proven to be truthful".

Its an ole southern thing my grandfather told me but he told lies too.

7,
my granddad taught me the same...never believe a fishin or huntin tale until you've seen the fish or seen the deers rack..but other than that, give them the benefit of the doubt..even they deserve that.

In the USA I was taught hard work and an honest life were good things.
When I operated my own business there were times when distorting the truth would have   improved my interest , banking interest.
What I did learn was that Corp America does not give a Hoot in Hell about lying as long as they get the contract, I guess for them a lie was some line item that could be worked out later on in the process.
I talked to a millionaire guy once and he was very happy to let me know that he didn't tell lies but hired people who could do that for him.
No wonder im poor  all i ever hired were honest people.
