A FEW GOOD WORDS

The accuracy of lie detector tests has never been completely decided upon. Although it is inadmissible as evidence in court, even the proponents of lie detector testing agree that it is not always accurate. Among the first lie detectors, considered by some to be the most accurate, was the donkey's tail! That's right, in ancient India, a suspect would be escorted to a darkened room.

Only three would be present: the accused, the interrogator, and a donkey. The person being questioned was told that the donkey would bray if his responses were not truthful, and he was then asked to hold the donkey's tail.

Forerunners of the modern-day lie detector include a portable unit, developed in 1930. As early as 1899, an Italian physiologist invented what is called the hydrosphygmograph, which simply recorded variations in pulse. Later came the galvanometer and the pneumanograph to measure electric conductivity of the skin and respiration. But none of these early devices was as tried and true and accurate as the donkey's tail!

Remember, the suspect is in a darkened room with a donkey. He was told to hold the tail of the donkey, and if a lie was told, the donkey would bray. But the suspect was not told that the donkey's tail was covered with black soot! So those who feared the donkey's telltale bray, in the darkness of the room dared not to touch the donkey's tail. They would emerge with clean hands… thus proven guilty!

Honesty is, always has been, and always will be, the best policy! It is priceless. Honesty paves the way for successful living. Honesty is a virtue. Ask yourself, "Have I been truthful in all things today. . .to my relationships. . .to myself? Have I been straightforward? Did I earn respect?"

Honesty takes plenty of courage, but the rewards are tremendous. Folks will say of you, "There is a person we can trust, one on whom we can depend to act fairly, justly, considerately. This individual is worthy of promotion and recognition." And all this without using the donkey's tail!

Good evening, luvie, and a Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.

Thanks for the hymns.

[luvie]

Howdy, Kathy! May God bless you on this Sunday, too. Hope you’ve had a peaceful weekend so far. Are you having pretty weather?

[radu]

Howdy, Kathy.

The drearies have returned up there, I see. At least the rain has stopped for a little while.

Did you sleep late this morning? Maybe even find a little “you” time for some R&R? :-)

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

Was the weather fairly kind again today/

Turned out pretty nice here and tonight’s cool enough to have a couple of windows open.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

Not really. It got up to 98. I didn’t get out and neither did the kitties, as far as I could tell. It’s still 90. Ack! OK is having a cold front, and I want them to share! LOL!

I’m glad you were cool enough to open windows. Fresh air is always a good thing! Did you do some more mowing today?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Rain....sun would be nice, but no complaints about the needed rain.

[radu]

Ugh! I’d hoped it wouldn’t be any hotter there than yesterday at least. The cold front dipped down too far to the east to give you some relief. :-(
That front is what is giving us a little break through the weekend. It only got up to 84 this afternoon and is 71 at the moment. It’s supposed to drop into the low 60s by morning but we’ll see if that happens.

Yes, I got the front yard done this afternoon and it was a chore. Took two hours and it normally takes an hour and a half. Back yard tomorrow.

[luvie]

You could send your leftovers my way. LOL! We’ve had about 6” this year. I need to buy stock in Blistex my lips are so dry. :)

[luvie]

Ahhhh....that 71 sounds like heaven to me! Not to mention the 60s!

Your back is gonna be screaming after all that mowing. But it will look so nice, and the brace keeps the back from getting as bad as it used to.
