Lie Detector

John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusualgimmick. His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him tochange. One day, John came home with another one of his unusualpurchases. It was a robot that John claimed was actually a liedetector. It was just about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11year 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?',they asked.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, this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you went afterschool.' 'We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie.''What did you watch?' asked Marsha. ''The Ten Commandments.' answeredTommy. The Robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him,knocking him off his chair. With lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat downand said, 'I am sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called SexQueen.'I'm ashamed of you Son,' said John. 'When I was your age, I never liedto my parents.' The robot then walked around to John and delivered aroundhouse right that nearly knocked him out of his chair.Marsha was bent double laughing, almost in tears. 'Boy, did you everask for that one! And you can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, heis your son!' The Robot immediately walked around to Marsha, and
slapped the shit out of her!
