Is It Cheating Or Is It Called Getting Even?

How many of you would take a lie detector test asking if you had ever cheated on your mate? I'm not asking how many of you would pass. I just wondering how many of you would even take it?

A couple of years ago friends were going through a divorce and the soon-to-be ex wife was claiming that the soon-to-be ex hubby was seeing another chick while they were married. I knew both of these people, and I already knew the answer to that, but I was not asked.

The husband had agreed to take a lie detector to show he had not cheated on his wife. A lot of child support and alimony was at stake and dependent on his "truthful" answers. I waited anxiously. Although I knew the truth, I could hardly wait for the outcome.

The big day had arrived... In a break room of a law office, while lawyer's from both sides chit chatted, my friend walked in and grabbed a quick cup of coffee. Then the guy administering the test waved him into another room.

A few minutes later he came back into the kitchen. I went to the car to wait for my buddy while the lawyers got together with their perspective clients to discuss the outcome of the polygraph test.

My friend flunked with flying colors. He had cheated with two different women that I knew of and possibly more. Their marriage stunk and he was part of the reason.

I never did feel bad for him even though he was a friend. I never did tell him that I had gone out with his wife before they were divorced either, but she never agreed to take a polygraph.

Sorry Jeff, but I told you to watch your back five years ago when you stole that case of vodka from me. Later dude.

If you got nothing to fear then it solves a lot of problems. Course if the accusations are unwarranted and proven so, the accusing party has a LOT to answer for too. That can ruin a relationship as well.

Mike: Generally speaking, just don't fucking lie–or steal.

Ann said...

I would have no problem taking a lie detector test. I find it easier to remember the truth than a made up story so I just go with the truth.

Sandee said...

It's cheating and getting even. Bwahahahahahaha. I love it. You are just the bestest pal a guy could have.

Have a terrific day. :)

Don said...

Ann: That's the truth too. One does remember truth, but has difficulty retaining a lie.

Don said...

Sandee: Well, I can only be so good. I do have my limits you know.

deejay said...

i'm afraid that you have done 'tricky' with your friend.

Don said...

deejay: ??? "Tricky"? Swell mister.

Don E. Chute said...

Don, it's Don--

Stealing a case of Vodka? In my Italian circles it's called, 'Don't get Mad--Get Even'.

Well played, Don!

p.s. 'Going out' is permissible. 'Going in' is cheating:>/

Just sayin' Still stealing booze makes it mutable circumstances:>)

PLU!

Don said...

Don E. Chute: Easy to see that we are in the same boat on this one. Just hope it doesn't sink, and lose all of that vodka again.

Damn, Don. Anyone who passes a lie detector test deserves to be shot in the head with a Mama Grizzly equalizer is my position. These people have no humanity. They are brain eaters who escaped from the set of Son of Zombieland.

One man's cheating is another mammalian orifice's ecstasy. Open wide, ladies and gents.

I'm not implying, of course, that there's anything wrong with inter-species sexual gratification. The great thing with inter-species sucking and fucking, of course, is that unless the "victim" has been coached by liberal social workers to communicate in ASL, it's their grunts and squeals and bleats against your word.

The word wins in a court of law every time. Hell, in the beginning the word was everything, as it is now and shall be ever after.

Or are you a fucking closeted Muslim terrorist?

Trust me. I'm rich.

Consider the continuing Horman family Internet Special that involves Norm Frink, my favorite chef of jurisprudence. The man's taste is unimpeachable and his intellect invisible.

Trash this pure and clueless should be worth several books, a mini series, and a film franchise. Ann Rule is slobbering and buying new vibrators on e-Bay. Even God is wondering what will happen next as He searches for the Vaseline.

People are disposable. If they weren't, why did God make so many of them?

I guess His attention is elsewhere.

Dude, I mean Don? You're bad.

Lin said...

I'd take one. Bring it on. I've thought more about murder than cheating. :)

Tattoo Jim said...

First of all, we have to define "cheating"... not that I ever have or ever will, but for those among us (certain ex-presidents), well, you know where I'm going with this Don... and as for the "watch your back"... Excellent Don! Most Excellent!!!!!! What goes around, comes around!!!!

Don said...

Doctor Faustroll: Why is it that when I read one of your comments I'm feeling guilty about having written the post?

Don said...

MA Fat Woman: Really? That's not what his wife said. She wasn't worth the price of a case of vodka though.

Don said...

Tattoo Jim: Yes, what goes around indeed comes around, and I have all of the time in the world...okay. Maybe not so much but enough.

Sandi said...

I don't know if I'd want to know the truth, if they were getting divorced anyway. I guess I understand because of what was on the line but if I was willing to get divorced and go through making him take a lie detector test, I think I already know the answer right? If you suspect that strongly, chances are they did cheat.

Don said...

Sandi: I'm not too sure I want the answer either. I'm with you on this one.
