Let’s play a little game, shall we?
I’m going to tell you all three true things about me and one lie. Then I want you all to try to guess which is the lie. Put your guesses in the comments and argue amongst yourselves all week long. Next saturday, I will reveal the truth about all three truths, and about which is the lie.
Got it? Good! Then let’s begin.
1: I once ate pate made by Raymond Burr.
2: I have appeared on television three times.
3: My parents saw Star Wars before I did.
4: My great-great grandfather joined the Union army shortly after the attack on Fort Sumpter, but spent most of the Civil War in the hospital.
Think you know which is the lie?
Let’s see how well you all know me.
I guess #4, because it is the only one more about someone else than you.

I guess number 2. It sound like the most “normal” of all!!!! :-)

I’m going with Star Wars for the lie!

I’m going with #1 because it just seems so random. Which probably means it’s true, but I have to pick something!

I’m guessing the number of times you’ve appeared on TV is something other than three.

I’m going with the TV answer also. I think someone with such a wild sense of humor and varied background, has made many TV appearances .
We did a variation on this at a recent work sponsored *annual meeeting*. A person asked about 30 high management types to write out 2 truths and a lie, and they were posted all over the room. The workers were asked to guess which was the lie. We had score sheets. It was a great ice breaker and a lot of fun.
