Help...feel frustrated, helpless and sad! WAW/?MLC

Oh Bruce...I'm buying that book, my friend. If you want a singular example of objective reality, then I've got a story for you.

My MLC alien and I were watching TV this evening. There was a gameshow on...don't recall the title (Moment of Truth?)...but it involves people answering questions for money that they had previously been asked while hooked to a lie detector.

Anyway, this young blonde was in the hot seat, and the questions were getting very personal. Her husband was seated near her. As the stakes increased, her old boyfriend appeared to ask a question: "If you thought I still loved you, would you leave your husband for me?" You could see the anguish on her face as she struggled to answer the question. Her husband buried his head in his hands. Before she could answer, a family member hit a buzzer that stopped her from having to answer the question. But the look on her face...the answer was obvious.

My wife blurts out: "He said IF...IF he still loved her!!"

I was...umm...taken aback by her response.

The show proceeds. Now we're in the big money. The question: "Did you have sexual relations with someone other than your husband after you were married?"

My God. Again, the anguish on the face of the contestant...

"Yes."

The husband's face drained of color. He buried his face in his hands.

"Awwww. That poor guy..." I said. My heart ached for him.

"Well...maybe he's a total AZZHOLE!!!" spews my wife.

I looked at her with both shock and amazement.

Bruce, I don't think you could come up with a better example of an alternate, objective reality.

And so it goes...
