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!

1. "Actually ma'am, alarm nahi baja..."

Late for class? No problem.

2. "Arre ma'am kya baat kar rahe ho? Iska baap toh MP hai."

Yeah, the MP of lies.
