John was a salesman’s delight when it came to any kind of unusual gimmicks. 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. When it detected a lie, it rang a bell and a speaker shouted “LIE! LIE!”
It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son, returned home from school. Tommy was over 2 hours late..
“Where have you been? 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’s bell started ringing and the speaker shouted: “LIE! LIE!”
“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.
Once again the robot’s bell started ringing and the speaker shouted: “LIE! LIE!”
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.”
To his great surprise the robot’s bell started ringing and the speaker shouted: “LIE! LIE!”
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!”
The robot rang its bell again and the speaker shouted “LIE! LIE!”
hahahahaha
