I didn't invent Post-Its, but I invented the glue.
True story - one of my college roommate's dads is one of the creators of the post-it glue. She told us this when we were watching Romy and Michelle, and no one believed her until we met her dad, who had worked at 3M for decades.

Why do people respond to her like she's a rational person? She tells such obvious lies and changes her tune every 5 min.
And because I'm pathetic, I remember the original 5 min mile thing clearly. She had literally just started running and was doing a 10ish minute mile, but her goal was 5 min. Everyone told her it was impossible but she dug in her heels and alternated between saying it was just a goal, she didn't actually expect to do it and telling everyone they were assholes because that 5 min mile was hers.
Anyway, about 2-3 weeks later, someone sarcastically asked her how that 5 min mile goal was coming and she was all, oh yeah, I did it, it was no big deal. So not only did she run a 5 min mile, but she did it less that a month after she started running.

And here I am just wasting my time wanting to start C25K. I'm failing before I even get started. lol.

This is SO funny. I would love to meet the inventor of Postits, or the glue, or anything remotely related.

Oh dear, I just looked at the rest of the thread. 4 minute mile in junior high.
I agree with the suggestion of giving up lying for 30 days. But that would be way more difficult for her than giving up booze and sex. Or running 4 min miles.

Because she's one of those people that legit believes her own lies. Shits crazy, yo.
