John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmick.
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 two hours late.
"Where have you been? Why are you over two hours late getting home?" asked
John.
"Several of us went to the library to work on an extra credit project," said
Tommy. The robot then 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
slapped him again, knocking him off his chair once more. With his lip
quivering, Tommy got up from the floor, sat down, and said, "I am sorry I
lied. We really watched an R-rated movie."
"I am ashamed of you, son," said John. "When I was your age, I never lied to
my parents." The robot then 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!"
With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and knocked her out
of her chair.
Ouch! Nice one.
Haha! I almost saw that one coming ...
That one is good. I really like that one because I think we all have lied to our parents at one point in our lives.
shutters, with the amount of lying I do I hope my mother never gets one of those
