IS THIS HONESTY?

What kind of a question is "Can I be honest with you?" What are you supposed to say? "No, please lie to me."

Alternatively, when people say, "Do you want to know the truth?" What are you supposed to say? "No I would rather have fiction."

Please remember that honesty is always the best policy and saying things like this will only make people question your honesty. Many folks say these phrases very innocently, however not everyone will believe in their innocence. So, if you are in the habit of saying these things, you either need to stop saying them or start speaking the truth at all times.
