LIES; BLOG # 176; MARCH 27, 2015










THE MESSAGE:

A lie is a lie is a lie.  The truth shall set you free!  Bending the truth a little is OK.  Lawyers don't lie nor do teachers.  Political lies are part of the game.  You only hurt the one you love.   It goes without saying! You can take that to the bank!  Do you solemnly swear to tell the truth.....?  I make you this promise. Say it ain't so Joe.   It only hurts for a little while.  Rules are for everyone else!  Everyone cheats a little. Every evil deed involves a lie! There are no sins but lies. Lies are never white. Sleeping dogs don't lie neither do dogs awake. Truth disguised is truth denied. 















WHICH ONE IS LYING?









EVERY TIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH A LIE COMES OUT!

CHECK IT OUT


Lies are deceiving in more ways than one:



LYING THROUGH YOUR TEETH:
Are the teeth clenched or apart?

The tighter the clench, the more convinced the liar is, of the truth in his or her words.


The wider the mouth, the more surprised the liar is at how convincing he or she sounds
.





If the teeth are hidden, it probably means that the liar is telling himself the truth surreptitiously.


Are some teeth missing?

This may be as a result of the liar having been caught in his or her prevarication and took a  punch to the mouth as a result.



Or it could be that the liar was SO convinced he or she was always telling the truth; that the CONSTANT CLENCHING  resulted in a loosening and subsequent loss of some teeth.



Or 'sugar coating' of an opinion could have resulted in a rotting of the teeth.



LYING THROUGH OTHER BODY PARTS:

Is the nose involved? If so it would tend to lessen the credibility of the lie; therefore, it is probaly safe to rule this out.




If a person passes gas and tries to blame it on his or her young grandchild, is this lying through your rectum?





The 'Eagles' presented another possibility by spinning the tale of some rueful fortune hunter 'You can't hide your lying eyes'!




Some people can't avoid a slight ear wiggle when trying to deflect the truth.



Toe tapping in the middle of a tall tale, in the absence of any music, can be an easy way to recognize a lie.




Suffice it to say that the human body is a billboard capable of telling anyone listening that they are in the presence of heaps of excrement from the male equine.



Maybe I could be a cab driver instead.











SOME OTHER TECHNIQUES IN THE ART OF LYING:

Exaggeration
A favorite weapon in TV advertisement." GUTS GLORY RAM" Please explain why any truck deserves the accolade 'GLORY'. Or from a hardware store's "EXPERT ADVICE"...... seriously?




Hyperbole
More TV ads: "There's never been a better time.." or "Now that's better" or "Best in class..." or "Watching TV just got better...".



Optics, 
It is not possible to enjoy a hockey game unless you are at a noisy pub with a bunch of like-minded fans drinking beer and hooting.




Hollow Promises, 
"Wait, we won Lotto 649" or "You don't pay, unless we recover money for you." 


Deadlines, 
"Act now, time is running out.." "The early-bird deadline is fast approaching".



Fear, 
"Ask you doctor..." or "Don't miss out...".



Rhetoric, 
When questioned he or she avoids  the real answer through the use of artful dodging.





THE QUESTION:




IS IT REALLY JUST A GAME?











THE LEMON: 


THIS WEEK'S LEMON IS AWARDED TO: 


The Major League Baseball Hall of Fame for its failure to recognize the excellent play of Pete Rose and  place him in the Hall.

















THE QUOTE:


TWEET TWEET


"Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in."Harry S. Truman
