WHICH KIND OF TRUTH?

Funny how we use expressions without thinking about what we are actually saying. I met up with a friend of mine at the country fair. At one point I was talking with her about some subject of which I do not now recall. I do, however, recall saying to her, "To tell you the honest truth...". A moment later I was thinking about what I had said, and turned back to her and stated, "That was as opposed to the dishonest truth, you understand."
