The Truth?

Whenever she told the truth, everyone thought she was lying. Being unbelieveable was cramping her style, so for several years she tried to play on her strength of not being believable by sincerely fibbing in hopes that people would think she was lying and believe the opposite of what she said. The tragic flaw to this process was: She couldn't lie.

In all truth, she could lie but she did it badly- so she never did. Her life was marked by a series of miscommunications followed by epic confusion.

AND, no one ever believed her whether she was telling the truth or not, although she always did.

It became so bad she found it necessary to stop talking altogether. Instead of speech, she began communicating with a series of nods, facial expressions and shrugs...

Yes, it is true. She took up the practice of Mime.

To her surprise, over a period of years her reputation of being a liar dissipated and she rose like a phoenix to positions of great power without ever saying a word.
