Well I always like dressing up in boots, pistol belt and 10-gallon hat.

If I ask you what you'll tell me and you answer, will your answer be a lie?

[wellinghall.livejournal.com]

I'm not at all confused by that ...

Does this not put you in an interesting metaphysical position? By stating that your answer will be a lie, you immediately allow the reader of the answer to gain some information regarding the truth - if only by elimination.

If your answer therefore carries some element of truth, can it reasonably be described as "a complete lie"?
