Here's a believable one from Rosemary Zwick:

Some members of a health club were having their first meeting. The
director of the group said, "Now, I'd like each of you to give the facts
of your daily routine." Several people spoke, admitting their excesses,
and then one obviously overweight member said, "I eat moderately, I
drink moderately, and I exercise frequently."

"Hmm?" said the director. "And are you sure you having nothing else to add?"

"Well, yes," said the member. "I lie extensively."

__________________________________________________

This was one of my first "creations." Notice that I have put "creations"
in quotes, because I know that I wasn't the first to come up with this.
It goes back to my college dormitory days when about all I had to work
with was a Sabatier knife (always buy the best - I still have the
knife), a wooden cutting board, and a toaster oven. It was a favorite
late-night snack, hence the name, but it also makes a great breakfast or
brunch treat. Rather than giving quantities I'll just give the procedure
so you can make as many as your appetite, and the number of mouths you
have to feed, can handle.

"Midnight Special" Open-Faced Sandwich

For each open-faced sandwich spread some good quality Dijon mustard on a
slice of bread. Top with a slice or two of cheese (Swiss, American,
provolone, or whatever you have on hand). Place a slice of ripe tomato
on this, sprinkle with a pinch of dried oregano, thyme, sage, or
whatever herb suits your mood, and a grinding of black pepper.
Optionally (this makes it really good, but fat-laden) add a slice of
bacon, cut in half. Cook in a toaster oven or under the broiler until
the bacon is cooked and the cheese bubbles.
