Can you tell a lie with a straight face?

I guess they call it the poker face or ability to lie to someone's face without show any signs of deception. As for me, I'd have to say that I am lousy at lying, especially to people that I love. And, so I try not to even stretch the truth whenever possible. Sure there are times when I have to embellish the truth, but that is rare.
Most times I couldn't lie to save my life. It's just not something I'd do. So, do you think you are good at lying without being found out? Do you have friends or family members that are more than comfortable lying to you or others and seem to have no remorse? Do they still keep lying when they are found out?

I am not good at it . I think I am an honest person .some friends of mine say they trust in me.and I don't like to hear my friend or family member tell a lie. It would makes me fell uncomfortable when someone tells a lie and when they are found out they still keep lying.

me too, lying is not my thing. covering something up for someone is even too hard for me, but when the need arises, i try my best not to become obvious. even for myself, i just face the consequences rather than keep it silent and be felt guilty for it.

No I am not good at it at all. I have an ex-sister in law now that could convince you the sky is purple. She is wonderful at lying, thus the very reason I have nothing to do with her.

I'm not a good liar at all. I can't even lie to my 19 month old. lol He knows when I'm lying when I say something tastes good or things like that. :) So now I always tell him that it's good for him and will make him big and strong like Daddy instead. I've given up on lying to him, or anyone else for that matter.

well i dont think i would be able to tell a lie even if i tried,im such a honest person and i always smile,so i think if i tried to tell a lie i would probaply smile and then i would get caught in the act.

I can't lie if I try ... I have to do all I can to avoid being in that situation. It's not easy so being honest does have it's advantages.
Little white lies always seems to come with a little grin so they give themselves away... it never works.
