1. I Think You're Fat - Esquire →

    I still tell plenty of lies every day, but by the end of the week I’ve slashed the total by at least 40 percent. Still, the giddiness is wearing off. A life of radical honesty is filled with a hundred confrontations every day. Small, but they’re relentless.

    “Yes, I’ll come to your office, but I resent you for making me travel.”

    “My boss said I should invite you to this meeting, although it wouldn’t have occurred to me to do so.”

    “I have nothing else to say to you. I have run out of conversation.”

    My wife tells me a story about switching operating systems on her computer. In the middle, I have to go help our son with something, then forget to come back.

    “Do you want to hear the end of the story or not?” she asks.

    “Well…is there a payoff?”

    “Fuck you.”
