Three truths and a lie

[Portrait in Flesh]

Zathras, I hope you aren't a superstitious guy.

I had a dream in which you died and I was at your funeral. It makes no sense because I've never met you.

 

Oh man, didn't we just spray for zombies?

And my choice is...#4.  Bad, naughty pupil you are if that turns out to be a truth.

I'll go with number 3. No real particular reason for me, either. Too tired to try to divine why the intuition points me that way.

Ok, here's the answers:

1. True - not my proudest moment, but it happen on a soccer field in a national tournament.  I can't say it was entirely an accident, but I did feel bad later (we lost the game too)
2. True - my son was playing on a dock in a man made pond and fell in.  He was about two and a half.  I jumped in fully clothed and didn't have to go as far a mouth to mouth, but he had swallowed a lot of water by the time I brought him up.  Ruined a perfectly good pocket watch too, which I tease him about to this day ;-)
3. True - and a lot easier than you might think
4. Which makes this the lie - Never cheated - thought about it from time to time, especially for Thermodynamics,but never did.

Hiya Tink!
1- Depends on which side of the bars, but plausible
2. heck I've done this.
3.heehee.. well you did marry Z.. and that means you're a "special" kinda lady. 
4.ow! But.. I bet it's one of those guilty nagging things that needed a confession, so plausible.

ok pure guesswork- I'm saying three. But can't wait to hear the stories behind all of these.

[Zathras]

Wait, wait, WAIT!!!!!!

I would like to state, for the record, that...


I HAVE NEVER BEEN ON AMERICA'S MOST WANTED!!!

[Zathras]

I was merely cutting off that line of questioning before it got started.

But we will be living in Arizona soon...

[MacArthurBug]

OH NOS!!!

I'm going to say number 3, because I want to hear the stories from the other ones.

Personally i think #4 is the lie 3 is too obvious to be a lie otherwise

1. I spent time in jail when I was in High School. - This is TRUE.  My dad worked for the jail for 25 years.  When I was in HS I would often go visit him at work. (A pathetic way to spend a Friday night, but it kept me out of trouble.)

2. I was involved in a fight in a strip club. - LIE  While I have been to a couple strip clubs I have never been involved in a fight at one.  Got this one from my brother who has gotten in a fight in a strip club.

3. Two people I am related to have been on the TV show "America's Most Wanted". - TRUE Years ago there was an escape at the jail my dad worked at and as a part of that story my dad was interviewed.  The second person is my estranged step-cousin's husband.  He shot a police officer and fled the area.  He made the #1 spot on the Most Wanted list and was featured on the show.  He was caught a couple of weeks later and is still awaiting trial.

4. I once broke my friend's back. - Sad but TRUE.  When I first got my driver's license I took my brother and my friends for a ride on some dirt roads on the mesa.  On the way back my brother convinced me to see how fast my car would go.  Not a good idea on a bumpy desert dirt road.  I rolled my car and since we weren't wearing seatbelts I flew into the back seat on top of my friend thus breaking her back.
