lie detector.
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
their 11 year old son,
returned
home from school. Tommy was over 2
hours late.
'Where have you been?' said Marsha.
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 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 once
again slapped him, knocking
him off his chair once more.
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 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.
