Most of us would do almost anything too keep a close friend from trouble. After all, that's the space friendship occupies. Parents protect, teachers educate and friends make all of that more fun. Sometimes though, you have to toe the line and tell an innocent lie here and there to keep them from getting a tongue lashing by their teachers or to save them the trouble of explaining where they were to their parents. Every true friend has said at least one of these lies!

5. "Beemar hai, kal tak aa jayega."

Professors and teachers, hands up if you've heard this one.

6. "Daaru? Cigarette?! Chhoota bhi nahi hai!"

The things we tell our friend's parents... it almost makes us feel bad.
