Yes, I know you don't need tips. You're already a great liar. But here's a tip for you, and see if it doesn't come in useful some time down the road:
Nothing looks guiltier than coming out with a big, beautiful, well-crafted excuse for something nobody's even asked you about. Yeah, I know you did a great job on that excuse! You want to show it off. You're on pins and needles waiting for the question that will set it off perfect. It'd hurt something awful to waste it! But you know what? Nobody's asking. And you're going to have to let it go. An excuse no one's asking for can't possibly convince. It will only wake up the very questions it's supposed to be setting to rest.
You're a great liar, fine - the last thing you need to do is prove that to other people. Believe me on this one. The unsolicited excuse is a one-way ticket to Dead-Giveaway City. Don't go there.
Sometimes the best thing you can do with a great lie is to let it lie.
