Whenever someone starts their story with the word “honestly”, i always assume that whatever comes next is a lie.

Thanks for not disappointing me!

You see, people who are in the habit of telling the truth don’t have to change their mode of thinking from “lying” to “honestly”

But people who are habitual liars do have to change their mode of thinking, and feel compelled to announce it as a way to prime their listener for “the truth”
