And let's be honest here...

...but, I guess we are!

According to this USA Travel article, Salt Lake City and Oakland have the most honest people!  Okay, the article admits that the claim is 'according to an offbeat, though not particularly scientific, survey from the people who make Honest Tea.'   The article says that they set up unstaffed stands containing bottles of tea for $1 and jars into which 'customers' could pay.  100% of the people in both Salt Lake City and Oakland paid for their tea, with other cities coming in at a lower percentage.

The rest of the top 10 according to this survey include the following...

   3. Boulder, CO, 99%
   4. San Francisco, 97%
   5. Boston, 96%
   6. Cincinnati, 96%
   7. Galveston, TX, 96%
   8. Seattle, 96%
   9. Las Vegas, 95%
   10. Washington, DC, 95%

Also, refer to the linked article for other interesting observations, such as men with beards were 96% honest while bald men were 85% honest.  Hmmm...
