Honesty is rarely the best policy.

depends how good you are at being honest. For example...
person gets rejected from appalachian but gets into ecu, the person says...
"i got rejected from app but i got into ecu", maybe not the best, but
"i applied to app and ecu, and ecu gave me a spot first, so i took it" maybe so! its very easy to be an honest deceiver.
I lie to be more believable, hide my mistakes, pretend to be a better or more interesting person, or just to cause amusement for myself and others. And I am still considered a fairly honest person.
In most cases where I can't be caught I consider lying to be the best policy.
There really aren't any advantages to telling the truth.

That doesn't make sense.
Why is saying the second statement better? To save face?
Brutal honesty, when you know it will harm another person, is not the best policy.
In relation to other people, tactful honesty that finds a way to look at the situation positively is best.
Sweeney Todd would lie.
*shameless plug*
the second statement doesnt make you look like an app reject...
heh, rejected from app...sorry.
I would say honesty is usually the best policy.
