Times When You Don’t Want To Hear “Ask Me No Questions, I’ll Tell You No Lies.”
The truth can be painful. But cliché answers can hurt even worse. Here are some times when you really don’t want to hear the reply, “Ask me no questions, I’ll tell you no lies.”
When the preacher just asked your fiancee, “Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?”
When your friend just finished reading your new novel, and you ask them, “What did you think?”
When your accountant finishes your taxes, and you ask, “Do I owe much?”
After a medical examination, and you ask the doctor, “How am I, Doc?”
When you and your friend drive two hours into the desert and her car stalls. So you ask, “Did you fill-up the gas tank before we left?”
When you have been taking voice lessons since you were five years old, and you just finished your audition for American Idol, and you ask the judge, “How did I do?”
When you just had a bowl of your friend’s “world-famous chili,” and you ask, “There weren’t any peanuts in there, were there? I’m allergic.”
When you go scuba diving, and 20 minutes later, you finally reach the shipwreck. Then you look at the scuba instructor and ask, “Is my air gauge supposed to read empty?”
