OUR TWISTED MISTER PHILOSOPHY CORNER

There is an old saying that the first casualty of war is the
truth. And sad to say between mission
accomplished, WMD’s, Iraq’s
“connection” to 9/11 et al, the truth has died many deaths in the current
conflict. So what to believe in? Well, here at the FNN, we can’t give you
absolute truths (we can’t?), but . . . we can
give you something almost as good:
absolute non-truths.

In other words, certain lies (four in fact) that you are (virtually) guaranteed never to
hear.

1. A woman over 21 will never say she’s older than she is.
2. A well to do older gentleman trying to impress a younger object of his affection will never say he’s less wealthy then he is.
3. A movie leading man will never say he’s shorter than he
   is.
4. And . . . a pro athlete will never say he’s of a less imposing
   size than he actually is.

That noted, when a baseball free agent claims he’s 6’ tall, or an actor claims he 6’4” tall, ala
John Wayne (well he was with 2” plus lifts) –remember the operative phrase –
“he claims”.
