I have a saying that I like to mock around with everyone I talk to. The situation is usually like this: they tell me how awesome something was that happened to them and I respond by saying "It didn't happen unless you have a picture of it". Usually it is just to see if they will produce a picture so I can enjoy the moment as well. Occasionally, I say it just to see if they'll get riled up and defend the truth.
In any case, every time that they have been lying about the event my line has stopped them in their tracks because they fear having to produce evidence for something that isn't real.
"Dude, I swear I just saw sasquach with my friends"
"It didn't happen if you don't have a picture of it."
"..well...jim saw it...he'll prove it"
"Does he have a picture?"
"No."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...ok."
Do I really think you need picture proof? No. In fact, working in the film industry I already know how easy it is to tweak photos to make them look real. --And videos.
Rhetoric is the real trick. Prove it to me in words and I'll believe you.
