My guesses for the lies:<br /><br /><br />1. Tour of the Oval office. I was going to go with the Prince Charles one but I can imagine you having the guts to ask that as a brash young would-be comedy writer.<br /><br /><br />2. Jennifer Aniston.<br /><br /><br />3. Cartoon in the New Yorker. If it turns out you really did kiss a Bond girl in her youth, you'll have to tell us who.<br /><br /><br />4. Diana Ross.<br /><br /><br />5. Girlfriend was in a Natalie Wood movie.<br /><br /><br />6. Blue Angels. I have no idea who they are and I know I can google them, but I'll wait until you've done the reveal.<br /><br /><br />7. Virginia Sportscaster. Sounds too random, while Washington makes sense and Tracey Ullman hitting you sounds like one of those crazy but true Hollywood stories.<br /><br /><br />8. Turning down writing for LAUGH IN.<br /><br /><br />9. Daughter's first word was Norm.
