Lobo on lying

From deep into No Going Back, a tidbit of a conversation between Jon and Lobo that I will offer without context:

“What’s your plan?” Lobo said.

“I’m not sure,” I said. “Probably to tell her the truth. Mostly.”

“I think we call that ‘lying,’” Lobo said.

I sympathize with both of their viewpoints. Lobo's phrasing, though, is, as always, funnier than Jon's.
