Reading news items these days can be a most depressing experience. Recent reports of the proceedings of certain cases would have raised many eyebrows and I would not at all be surprised if many are up in arms at the incongruities of many statements. How I wish we had a fool-proof lie detectors that can be used during court proceedings. Do we need lie detectors like in the following joke to see through lies that truth may prevail? Why can some lie through their teeth and still strut around as though they are innocent or the victim of circumstances - real or planned. Sighs. Anyway, please leave a comment after you read this tale. Thanks! Take care and have a lovely long weekend! School's out and for those of you on holiday - stay safe and enjoy your holiday!

THE LIE DETECTOR
John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmicks. His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to change.
One day John came home with another one of his unusual purchases. It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector. It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over 2 hours late.
"Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?" asked John.
"Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project," said Tommy.
The robot walked around the table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair.
"Son," said John, "this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you really were after school."
"We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie," said Tommy.
"What did you watch?" asked Marsha.
"The Ten Commandments." answered Tommy.
The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking him off his chair.
With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, "I am sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called Sex Queen."
"I am ashamed of you son," said John. "When I was your age, I never lied to my parents."
The robot walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly knocked him out of his chair..
Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said, "Boy, did you ever ask for that one! You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!"
The robot walked around to Marsha and knocked her out of her chair.
* Do tell me what you think might happen if we had such a lie detector in court :-).

nick Sis,
A lie detector in the shape of a drilling machine (preferably with drill bit the size of durian) would definitely be suitable for use in the court (for THE trial, anyway). And the most logical place to install it would be??? Where else but under the witness chair where any witness however "witless" the person maybe, would never dare to tell lies.
BUT then again, going by the testimony of the "Doktor ayam", the court would be sued for sodomizing the "witless witness" by virtue of the close proximity of the lie driller..err.. detector to the witness! Imagine that, Sis!
May GOD deliver us all from the witless witness, the doktor ayam and the fox prosecutor.
Nick.
Have a great weekend, Sis.
