"A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on." Winston Churchill

A convincing lie, perhaps.

Churchill may well have said it, but Mark Twain did so much earlier (with boots, rather than pants).

(And why would Churchill have said "pants" anyway? He was an English aristocrat&hellip "trousers" or "underpants" surely.)

This may be related to the fact that the diary these come from was free.

"There's no such thing as a free diarylunch."

(Attributed to Milton Friedman, although I don't think he was the first to say that either…)
