There's a funny story from the Holocaust (yeah... bear with me)

Nazis come into Corrie Ten Boom's household, and they're hiding Jews. Corrie's sister has... perhaps an over-developed sense of honesty. Nazis demand, "where are the Jews!" The sister replies truthfully, "under the table." Nazis don't want to fall for it and look stupid so they don't look under the table, and leave without finding them!
