Pull the other one

A gentle challenge or rejoinder to a fanciful or bullshit statement or a tall tale. An idiom you use to tell someone that you do not believe what they have just said.

Derived from the game where you ask someone to "pull my finger" and fart, then ask them to "pull my other finger" or "now pull the other one".
-- Example 1 --

GUY 1:
"Yeah I drank about 20 beers but the cop couldn't tell I was drunk and let me go."
GUY 2:
"Pull the other one. I don't think so."

-- Example 2 --

From Scene 1 of Monty Python and the Holy Grail:
KING ARTHUR:
Whoa there!
clop clop clop
SOLDIER #1:
Halt! Who goes there?
ARTHUR:
It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!
SOLDIER #1:
Pull the other one!
ARTHUR:
I am,... and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot.
I must speak with your lord and master.
SOLDIER #1:
What? Ridden on a horse?
ARTHUR:
Yes!
SOLDIER #1:
You're using coconuts!
ARTHUR:
What?

Verizon

A phone company that releases your private data to the government without a warrant, in violation of the 4th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

When this story broke in October 2006 that Verizon was releasing private customer data of U.S. citizens under provisions the "USA Patriot Act}" without warrant, the company vociferously denied it. But in sworn Congressional testimony (reported in October 2007 in the New York Times), Verizon admitted it decided it could violate the Constitution TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TIMES since 2005, continued up to the present.

The Bush administration is currently (Decemeber 2007) drafting a law that would protect Verizon, AT&T, and others against prosecution.
"Verizon -- we'll never stop working against you."

"Your privacy is never safe with Verizon."
