  3. OK then, listen up. Don't worry your head about guys who say that other guys don't lie. The guys who say that others are honest won't lie to you. Why, you ask? Because then there would be two liars. Why again, you ask? There is only one liar. So, knowing that... Look at the ones who accuse others of lying, and you'll find your liar! Hah hah!
