Now I'm wondering what a 'The Tao of Groucho' book would look like.
"If you're only going to be good at one thing, be good at lying, cuz if you're good at lying, you're good at everything"

- Do not remember where I heard this and desperately hope it did not come from my own corroded soul.

That hits. I've always been terrible at lying, so I just try my best not to. I'm so bad at it that I wear it on my face. I've been passed up for many opportunities in life that went to someone who was better at it.
