No nonsense really. But I should have my head examined. After 30 years on the bulletins boards, I can’t stop feeding the trolls. And I'll bet you say that about anyone who is willing to poke fun at himself as well as the occasional demagogue masquerading as president.

<<my point is that you talk nonsense>>

It's not about nonsense but I got to thinking how people have started not telling the truth but not really lying.

Ie. The guy across the road is with a brokerage firm, spends a lot of time in Chicago and is home on some weekends. Has several kids around 20 years old.

I had bought a new pistol and was popping a few rounds into a hill in my yard and he comes over with his son griping about it. Not illegal where I live. I mentioned he should be more worried about his son because the kid had stolen a small vacuum out of my garage. I knew because his son had ridden his horse around my house when he thought I was gone, leaned over in the saddle and inventoried everything on my porch, barn and garage. The next day the vacuum was gone.

Now for the gist, he says his son is living in Chicago and couldn't have done it. Takes his son and leaves. THAT son lives in Chicago but the son that is one year younger and rides the horse lives across the street. True son 1 couldn't have done it but son 2 probably did.
