Heck, you got me with the flossing thing. Just don’t tell my doctor, OK?

BTW, the simple mention of “getting laid” filled up the page with photos of prostit young ladies in search of the right man.
Google: the house of the rising ads.

All I know is, I would never get laid again…

What about lies of omission?

Or misleading truths? “Tell the right truths and people will make up their own lies.” -Paraphrased Gil Grissom (CSI) from a fanfiction; the quote may or may not be original to the author.

Flames would probably come more based on intent than the actual content of the “lie”; true?
Then, on those occasions where it is ethically necessary to lie, is the choice removed? Is the greater of two evils the only choice?

What of promises made sincerely, but doomed by unforeseeable circumstances to be broken?

You see that the flaming trousers of deceit cannot catch all mistruths—short of prescience—and what is its solution to the liar’s paradox? “I am lying.” *fizzlePOP.*

Could I be overthinking the suggested metaphysics? Nah.

Also, is this comic proof that Biff does, in fact, speak, even if we never “hear” what he says? Since there is a “they”, that also confirms that there are other people in Biff’s universe.

I tend to wonder what life would be like if we all had some form of telepathy. It could be rather unpleasant without established proper manners—but I would hope that a simple code of manners would establish itself fairly quickly; if it did not, then I am mistaken in that I believe most people have a fairly good idea of the generalities of manners.
Then again, the perceived safety of anonymity can strip manners away from interpersonal interaction by the dehumanizing power of abstraction. An anonymous mindlink would be not good.

Psymon rambles.

At first I thought htey set fire to him because he was lying, which was I was confused that he was so calm, then I realized the punchline after reading the comments.

I don’t normally use chatspeak, but this truely was an LOL comic!
If your pants really did catch on fire when you lied, I’d imagine a lot of people running through the hallways of my school on fire. I wonder if you ask someone the reason they are on fire was because they lied and they lied again, I wonder if they’d explode…

I’m guessing a child’s phrase theme this week; “Liar liar, Pants on fire,” “Cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater,” you know? Or maybe I’m wrong and crazier than ever.

On a side note, this is another situation where he should have worn his fireproof pants.

This would do wonders for the justice system.

Judge: Did you sleep with the plaintiff’s wife?
Defendant: No, I swear!
*Nothing happens*
Lawyer: Well, did anyone sleep with his wife?
Everyone: No!
*Everyone’s pants catch fire*

And Gobbledegook, you have my permission to plagiarize me whenever you wish

Just no movin’ in on my turf, else I CUT YOU UP SOOOO BAD!!!
