How??? Im not sure if this was a serious question, but just in case... its only another post after all...
By sneaking around the house like an SAS commando (without realising I could see her every move) and then bounding in the front door with her tail wagging as though butter wouldn't melt in her mouth. But as soon as she saw the look on my face, she knew the ruse wouldn't work. I doubt if she'd be very good at poker...

"Do my boobs look too big in this?"
"42"
It very nearly works.....
It is an interesting question though. Perhaps the mammary equivalent is actually 'do my boobs look too small in this?' since the quest appears to be for larger breasts and smaller buttocks.
Hmmm.
Love the story about your failed-SAS-commando 6*7s

SixSevens-- yes, it was a serious question, I was just trying to figure out how you could tell that a dog was lying. Koko, the gorilla who uses sign language, has been known to lie outright. Once she bit someone and lied about it to her teacher, but caved in and apologized when the teacher called her bluff. With dogs (and cats, now that I think about it), it's more like "Wow, am I happy to see you, I've had a great day and I didn't do anything I should be feeling guilty about, no sirree!"

Lying is interesting. Deceit is probably the best way to find something like self-awareness.
