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.

Good logic, but I'm going with 3 as the lie because it's just too well drawn a narrative. It's too believable to be true!
