Christmas in Malarkey

 

John, a salesman in Malarkey, Illinois, would
delight when it came to any kind of unusual gadget. His wife, Marsha,
had long ago given up trying to get him to change. One day John came
home with another one of his unusual purchases; it was a robot with
lie-detection capability built in! He intended to give it to the boy for
Christmas. When the new year arrived, and little Tommy was back in
school, one day he arrived home at 5:30 in the aftermnoon. When John
asked 11-year-old Tommy why he had arrived home more than 2 hours lates,
Tommy explained, "Several of us went to the library to work on an extra
credit project." Upon hearing this, the robot maneuvered around the
table and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair.
"Son," said John, "unbeknownst to you, the robot you received for
Christmas is a lie detector. Now tell us where you really were after
school." "We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie," answered
Tommy. "What did you watch?" asked Marsha. "The Ten Commandments,"
said Tommy. Again the robot maneuvered into position and gave young
Tommy a furious whack, knocking him off his chair once more. With his
lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, "I am sorry I lied. We
really watched a movie called 'Dial M for Missionary'." "I am ashamed
of you son," said John. "When I was your age, I never lied to my
parents." The robot maneuvered into postion and delivered a whack to
John that nearly knocked him out of his chair! Marsha doubled over in
laughter, almost in tears and said, "Boy, did you ever ask for that one!
You can't be too mad with Tommy. After all, he is your son!" With
that the robot immediately maneuvered towards Marsha and knocked her out
of her chair.
