Flying Horses, Testicles & Truth

Hello my somewhat dormant readers and followers. The last two months have brought so many issues to the surface that I didn't know what to address...but now I do.  Dishonesty, it rides mostly on a train that is going downhill- then stalls.  We have collected some honest factoids to hopefully get the engine uphill.

First off, are there "Flying Horses?"   Nope!   The mythical pegasus, etc never existed.  Does  a Pegasus have gender differences, i.e. a vagina and a penis w/testicles?  NO, they are f@cking mythical, WTF?  Does the Answerman  say "I don't give a flying horse's balls what you say" for nothing?"  It is a go-to phrase when something strikes me as so unbelievable, useless or dishonest that I don't know what to say.  I don't know when it started but in a moment of frustration I just blurted that out.  Now it's just something that comes out when I'm frustrated with someone's actions/words.

The truth is that you believe what the evidence tells you.   Local guy Hank at The Run Around
is a good guy.  Brash, conservative, community oriented while watching his bottom line. Not everyone likes Hank but he is always honest.  You never have to question what he says.  I like that about him and anyone.  Everyone has opinions or how to run things in this world and we should - as long as we are honest.  Then there are others that are such compulsive liars that they don't know what lies they've told.

In the last couple of months I've had a series of business discussions that really didn't go my way.  I followed what I was told and really had to go on what I was told as being truthful. It was not.  In the end the person I was dealing with throughout the process decided afterward that he "never would have made those recommendations."  My response " I don't give a flying horses balls..... " You get it, right? I followed it with "Oh by the way you made the recommendation on my voicemail.  The one that I still have saved." Doh!

 The backtracking and stream of additional conflicting dishonesty to cover for their lies was sickening.  In the end I got stuck due to the dishonesty.  Not cool...not cool at all.  As they continued to run on and on I said "I'm done, I'm done listening to you- do you even hear the words falling out of your face?  I'm done."

The Answerman says "Just tell the truth- and it cannot be stretched.  Lies don't come in sizes, shapes and colors.  If you make a faulty recommendation in business or otherwise then own your statement and step up and be responsible.  If I reach the point of saying "I don't give a flying horses balls what you think, say or do" then you need to shut down and disappear.
