Answers:

[1] For two years, I was a member of the Speakers' Bureau at the University of New Hampshire... without holding a doctoral degree.
True. I was pursuing a graduate degree at UNH at the time, did hold a master's degree from another school, and I was UNH faculty at the attached two-year school: the Thompson School of Applied Sciences.

[2] I have slept with a woman who charted on Billboard's American Top 40.
True. I'll never name her -- that's not cool -- but I will say that she did have a TMF username, and might still be online...

[3] I have earned four master's degrees, including an MBA.
False. I have three. The first two are in the environmental field, and then -- after changing careers in 2016 -- I earned a third in math education in 2018.
I do not have an MBA.
I am overeducated, and underpaid... what else is new?

C for Mils

I will guess 2 for Adam

C) is true. This uncle by marriage was given a dog to cheer him up at age 97. He bonded with the dog and they were inseparable companions. Special permission was obtained for the dog to attend his 100th birthday party even though it was held in a banquet hall that forbade pets.
When he died at age 101, the dog cried for a week.

 

[milagros317]

A) was the lie. My brother has had many dogs as pets but also three cats.

New game:

A) I last shot a rifle in Boy Scout camp at age 12.

B) I have never shot a pistol.

C) I became quite successful at shooting a slingshot at the age of 11.

New set of two-truths-and-a-lie:
[1] I have consumed alcohol more than two times in my life.
[2] I have consumed marijuana more than two times in my life.
[3] I have fired a firearm more than two times in my life.

 

[kurchatovium]

I will guess 3

 

[AdamSterling]

I will guess 3

If you're guessing that #3 is the lie, you'd be correct.

[1] I have consumed alcohol more than two times in my life.
True. I've been drunk at least ten times in my life.

[2] I have consumed marijuana more than two times in my life.
True... but barely. I think the total might be around four or five... and all of them took place in the past six years... if you don't count the contact highs I experienced at various rock concerts I've attended (all since 1989).

[3] I have fired a firearm more than two times in my life.
False. I have done so exactly twice. The first time was during the summer of 1981, as a camper at a sleep-away camp in northern Florida, at their rifle range. I remember little of the experience, and I don't think I was any good at it. The second time was during the summer of 2009, at a private outdoor range in rural New Hampshire, east of Concord, where I fired two pistols at a round target mounted on a tree. My first shot was a bullseye -- because I didn't know about the recoil. Every other shot was a bit off because I was anticipating the recoil. Firearms aren't my thing, but I didn't hate the experience, and I actually considered myself grateful for learning proper safety and handling rules.
