Ann Landers challenged her readers to come up with the world's third biggest lie -- right after "The check is in the mail" and "I'm from the
government, and I'm here to help you." Here is a sampling from the thousands she received: 
 
- "It's a good thing you came in today. We only have two more in stock." 
 
- "Five pounds is nothing on a person of your height." 
 
- "You made it yourself? I never would have guessed." 
 
- "You don't look a day over 40." 
 
- "Dad, I need to move out of the dorm into an apartment of my own so I can have some peace and quiet when I study." 
 
- "It's delicious, but I can't eat another bite." 
 
- "The new ownership won't affect you. The company will remain the same." 
 
- "The puppy won't be any trouble, Mom. I promise I'll take care of it myself." 
 
- "Your hair looks just fine." 
 
- "Put away the map. I know exactly how to get there." 
 
- "You don't need it in writing. You have my personal guarantee."
