Welcome to Ralph's Weekly Feature: Two Truths and a Lie: Guess Which One Is The Lie?

David ArtigliereEach week, I'm going to feature one Active Rain Member, with their photo, and what they are going to do is tell you 2 Truths about them and 1 Lie.

The object of the game is to guess which of the 3 bits of trivia about them is a lie!

Each new game will be posted on Sunday, and then the answer will be revealed by the featured member a week later on the following Sunday.

It's a great way to get to know your fellow ActiveRain members and staff.

This week, we will be featuring: David Artigliere

 

David is an ASHI Certified Home Inspector with ARTI Home Inspections, LLC, based out of the Reading, Pottstown, Norristown, Philadelphia, areas of Pennsylvania.

Whether you are a 1st time homebuyer or seasoned investor, you want a home inspector you can trust! Yes, we live in Berks County, but we have clients all over the Greater Philadelphia Area!

OK, Here goes:

 

My most unusual find during a home inspection was a dead body in a crawl space.



I once fell off a 3 story roof and ended up without a single scratch/injury.

 

 

I have traveled to 27 countries.

 

 

OK, gang. Tell me which one is the lie!

Remember, for those members who guess the most number of correct lies at the end of the month, you will be awarded 1,500 Bonus Points! If there is a tie, each member who ties will be awarded 1,000 Bonus Points!

The dead body in #1 more than likely wasn't human. Hmmm, deciding between #2 and #3.  I'll guess #2.

I am taking a very uneducated guess and I say #3 is the lie.

I have visited, and lived in, lots of countries but then I am much older than David.

I'll go with #1 this time. (again I will be wrong - because either Gail is right or Donna is right...)

Ahhh, and more than likely Donna is right.  I totally don't do well Praful when I have to guess or take a stab in the dark!! :) And, has anyone noticed Cindy in Indy's new picture.  She was one of the providers and I certainly guessed wrong.  She was planning her Mother's 109th reunion.  She looks fabulous.  Her hair is darker or she lost some weight; she looks great. ;) Gail

First thought #1 definitely not

Then thought #2 NOT because he's young and sturdy

Then thought #3 because it probably was 26 or 28 countries

but now too many are guessing #3 and there's never that many who are right ~

So, Going back to #2 is the lie!

This was so much fun reading all your sleuthing and Gail gave me a really good laugh!  I really have to be careful how I phrase things because you guys and gals really picked the wording apart of these when I tried to keep it simple.  

So here goes:

I HAVE travelled to 27 countries and 5 continents.  My wife and I are avid travellers and we travel in the winter when people aren't buying homes so much in PA (Dec/Jan).  It's worth giving up some home inspections to see the world, learn from other cultures, do things we've never done, and really appreciate what we have here in the US.

I HAVE fallen off a 3 story roof without a single scratch or injury.  It was a steep, metal roof that was recently coated in Aluminum paint (not supposed to be used on a metal roof).  As I stepped onto it, I slipped and rolled myself into a fall off the 2nd story roof and then a 1st story roof.  I learned the art of falling at a young age.  My friends always joke I should have been a stunt man and my wife laughs that I'm so proud of this "skill".  Hey, it comes in handy!

I HAVE NOT come across any dead bodies in homes I was inspecting.  This I meant as human bodies. Animals "bodies" I refer to as carcasses.  Sorry this tripped some of you up!

#1  is  the  LIE!!!!

Me too, DeeDee. However, a few comments that said it could be a body of an animal, seemed plausible.  I too didn't have much time to sleuth!  It did look from a few blogs i read that  he liked to travel but who knew!! Congrats everyone.  I'm batting 2 for 2 in the loss department this month!! :(

Thanks Christine - yep I ended my streak of incorrect guesses - but I should sustain this new streak for at least two more weeks - and hope nobody gets all 4 right this month...

So with this, I am with the winners of last month - Donna, Gail and...Praful - we all have one right guess so far this month!
