How DO you know when they are telling the truth?

Some of my favorite clients are elderly.

There is no guessing where they stand.  I have blogged about this before.

I met some NEW friends today.   Yes clients, but they are much more.  I told my wife that this 2 hour listing would take at least 3.  It took 4 1/2 hours.

I got some great insight of their mentality, and some great leads to boot.

This age group always has some wisdom I can take away.

Today was not diferent.  This time it was the wife...

"Do you know when a politician is telling the truth?" she asked me.

NO, how?  I replied.

"It is when they tell you that the other guy is telling a lie!"

No true-er words have been spoken!

LOL William....That was funny! I have a couple of friends who are in their 90s. They are witty and always have something funny to share.

I need to have one of those double decker outhouses built. Would be a great lawn ornament.

Smart lady! Do you suppose it's possible to find an honest politician? Or do all of them just say what they think you want to hear at that moment?

LOL...So, there was a lot of truth told during the campaigns...it was just when the other candidates were talking.
