1) In 8th grade I did a 50 mile backpacking trip for my backpacking merit badge. On the trip I was covered (as was everyone else) with seed ticks.

3) The first time I drove a car was when my father and I went sledding. My father slipped on the ice, hurt his wrist, and needed me to drive home. I was just 14 at the time. We later found out that he had broken it.

After some consideration, I would say that #1 was the lie.  Just because a 50 mile hike to a strip club in the Mojave desert seems excessive for an 8th grade merit badge.  Were you backpacking through Bataan?  Wink

Number 3 seems the next most likely lie.  But then it could have been a stick shift, and you could have had a trusting father...  So yeah, I'll go with number 1.


"Beware the beast Man, for he is the Devil’s pawn. Alone among God’s primates, he kills for sport or lust or greed. Yea, he will murder his brother to possess his brother’s land. Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death.” – Sacred Scroll 29:6
