Do You Want an Honest Answer?

by Frank Roche on December 17, 2008

Is there ever a good thing to come when someone, when asked a question, says, “Do you want an honest answer?”

Ba-da-boom. The rest of the answer is never what the questioner wants. Oops.

    You need to read the Mark Twain piece in the new New Yorker.

    There is a part of me that trutly wants the honest answer. Still, I cower waiting for the blunt truth.

    Sometimes, I prefer a white lie.

    The only person right now that I really wantan honest answer from is Blagojevich! And yes, I can handle the truth!

    Tami, I don't think that Blago is going to know the difference between truth and fiction. The guy's a comic book character…what a fool.

    Pax, I loved Jeff Goldblum in The Big Chill when he said, “We all need 2 or 3 juicy rationalizations each day.” I'd go with a white lie too.

    I'd go with the truth…with a little sugar on top.

    Yep, a whack is sure to come.
