The next time the witness lied the Prosecutor said "Mr (Smith), I believe you are taking the truth lightly ....{pause for effect} ... and doing so with intent!"<br /><br />The court simply burst out in laughter!JohnDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00608216150220329902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-40394382889996028772012-04-06T16:22:15.786-04:002012-04-06T16:22:15.786-04:00LOL Ya got us pegged!

It's really annoying.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-41713318963248020052012-04-06T13:20:27.108-04:002012-04-06T13:20:27.108-04:00Women expect other women to downplay the complimen...Women expect other women to downplay the compliments. If a woman were to say to me, "Your husband is so handsome" and I said, 'Yeah, he is!" I would soon find myself off the neighborhood invite list. It's just not considered proper to accept a compliment straight out like that. You have to counter the positive with a negative. You say thanks, but then throw a negative in there quickly so that it won't appear that you think you're all that. <br /><br />"Your husband is so handsome"<br />"Thanks, but I tell ya, he's a bear to live with!"<br /><br />"Your kids are so darn cute!"<br />"Aww...thank you. But they drive me crazy!"<br /><br />"Your hair looks so great in that short cut!"<br />"Thanks! But I had to cut it because my hair is thinning."<br /><br />You just have to downplay it by adding a negative, because you don't want other women to think that you think your life is perfect. So you add a negative to show them that you know it's not.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.com
