////The most representative BULLSHIT must be carefully crafted in the manner of a fine novel////

Josepp, It certainly was Bullshit. But not for the reason you think.

>The bullshitter does no such thing. If you go to visit a sick friend in the hospital and ask her, "How are you feeling?" And she responds with, "I feel like someone dropped a 10-ton weight on me" that would be bullshitting.<

This definition could not be more wrong. What you describe here is a simile. And it is not Bullshit or even untrue because she doesn't expect you to believe it. She knows that you know that she has never actually experienced a ten ton weight on the head.

While JohninKansas', statement was total Bullshit, because he obviously knows a thing or two about Bullshit and knows that making an off the cuff, non crafted statement like. "The most representative BULLSHIT must be carefully crafted in the manner of a fine novel" is likely to fool someone who is apparently a Bullshit ingenue (even a male ingenue) But be appreciated by a larger audience which truly appreciates the skill of a truly accomplished Bullshitter. Yes josepp. Please keep in mind that, while good Bullshit does involve exaggeration and is not as purposeful as out and out lying, it is designed to fool someone.
