Fake the snake

"To add in a small specific detail in order to make your lie seem more convincing."

An example of how to fake the snake:
"...Apparently he reconnected with an ex-GF (not the girl he threatened me over) and broke into her apartment, stole her pet snake, CAME BACK, jumped her and tied her up all the while wearing a fake cop outfit. No clue how he got caught or WTF actually happened. Dude had priors and was locked up for some time for that."

"The stolen pet snake makes this story completely credible because it’s such an unnecessary and random detail in the story.
From now on whenever I make up a story, I’m adding a stolen pet snake."
