“My father was a polygraph operator...he brought it home every time he thought I was up to something. Yes, I was interrogated as a kid....just like you saw in that movie.”
E X C E L L E N T!
Your dad sounds like quite the character. I bet that sucked being interrogated by your dad like that. Did you figure out how to beat him? Great story!
My Dad worked for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations. I never beat the Polygraph; I tried, but the sequence and re-covered areas, such as “when you told me that you didn’t steal that candy, was that 100% truthful, or was there any inaccuracy in that statement” was where I fell on my face.
One time he had the neighbors over and they, like REAL Dummies, got on the machine; the spouses could ask each other anything they wanted. The man fessed up that he had gotten a speeding ticket he didn’t tell his wife about. They both thought that they could beat that machine. Even at seven years old, I knew that was trouble.
