I work for a big consulting firm. In our proposals to clients we provide a "fun fact" about ourselves. In the last three proposals I've claimed to have canoed around the UK, wrestled a bear for charity and be selected as an astronaut for the European Space Agency. Nobody checks.
@fesshole (they don't read the rest of the proposal either. Probably not even after the selection of who to give the money to has been made. Nice to add a mousetrap to demonstrate it.)
