I always thought when I read that it meant that person had a real knack for catching someone in a lie...that they were an expert.

The book had a list of offenses which would get a person fired. One was "known or suspected dishonesty". Known dishonesty, I can understand, but how do you prove a negative?Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239163766419735693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-14379372894456334892017-06-26T10:55:38.745-04:002017-06-26T10:55:38.745-04:00Just for the record:

I kind of doubt that, but I do like one of Miss Marple's "tells" of when someone was telling her a lie: a person who looks right at you and never blinks as they talk. <br /><br />Yep, we're in the business of inventing lies and then figuring out how to dismantle them.

But being able to prove it is another matter. I'm reminded of a scene in one of the Harry Potter movies, in which Harry tells professors Snape and McGonagall that Draco Malfoy is the person who put a curse on ... a character whose name escapes me. Snape asks for the proof, and Harry says he just knows. And while it turned out that Harry was right, Snape correctly scoffed at using a gut feeling as proof. I wish Mr. Mueller better luck and better evidence. Barb Goffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16013123434790272424noreply@blogger.com
