Koohii stories:

1) [wrightak] 6-6-2006(518): Pinnochio gets frustrated that every time he utters a word of a lie, his nose grows and he has to get the saw out again.

2) [jameserb] 23-4-2008(44): Her lies are words that cut not like a knife, no not cleanly, but savagely like a saw.

3) [Piitaa] 3-7-2006(23): Hint: I think of lies as serrated words for some reason.

4) [herman] 24-11-2008(12): This really has the connotation of fraud rather than lie but the Pinnochio story works too well.

5) [nicjsb] 3-10-2008(8): His words were false; I saw right through his lie.
