Example:
Bob was feeling a little worried and realized he needs to stop stretching the truth. Claiming to be an expert at something, when at best a tyro, is not always a good idea; especially when the pilot and co-pilot become incapacitated. Maybe he should not have told the flight attendant he had flown over 5,000 hours on a wide-body jet before. He wasn't exactly lying, but perhaps a computer flying game didn't count. Which button operates the machine guns again?
