Never lie on a resume, at some point it will come back to haunt you.  Recall that recently the CEO of Radio Shack was forced to resign because it was discovered that he had lied on his resume.  Ficticious information is an automatic reason to not hire someone 100% of the time, no matter how well they interview.  

However, I'm with countrigal that I don't think *every single* bit of employment needs to be accounted for.  Own up to it if asked, but if it's not relevant then I don't see the point in putting it on there.  For example, a lot of years ago when I was working part-time with my current company, I was also temping as an receptionist/clerk for a couple companies.  I don't put those on my resume though, there's no gap in employment and not something that I feel I need to call out.
