Paint oneself into a corner.
Deny it's a corner.
Deny it's paint.
Deny that one painted it.
Deny that one ever denied anything.
Deny everything.

Rinse. Repeat.

Hey, I fell for that once before: I married a mystery prize and she still doesn't know what she wants.

Well look whose talking! You're the guy that married a mystery prize. Clearly you had no clue what you wanted and just said 'surprise me!'.
