Truth

I love this story...

It was a smoke filled room and six guys were sitting around the poker table swapping lies and playing cards.

Everything was fine until the old man McKinley lost $1200 in a single hand. The sheer panic of the loss caused him to clutch his chest and drop dead at the table.

His "card playin'" buddies stood up in a momentary show of respect for their fallen friend.

"Now, who is going to tell his wife?"They draw straws.

Finch who is always a loser, picks the short one.

They tell him to be discreet, be gentle, don't make a bad situation any worse than it is.

Offended he said,"Gentlemen! Discreet? I'm the most discreet man you will ever meet. Discretion is my middle name, leave it to me."

Finch leaves the poker game, walks over to the McKinley's house, knocks on the door, the wife answers, asks what he wants.

Finch says, "Your husband just lost $1200 playing cards."

She screams through the open door, "TELL HIM TO DROP DEAD!"

Finch replies, "I'll tell him."

What a fun story to start the week. Here's a thought.

You can tell the truth and then you can "tell" the truth. Both are important.

Be a "truth-teller" in a world that "trades in lies."

....and that's the truth!
