2 truths and a lie

[Madhuri]

hmmmmm.........i'll go by three.

[Pendragon]

Let's see. Hummmm.

My own left leg is short than my right due to injury, so the first one is probably true for similar reasons.

Most people who are left handed wind up being ambidextrous, which I suspect here.

Sorry, but I don't buy number two. But I've been wrong before!

[Schokokeks]

The first one is a lie.

Yes, Pensy, you're right ! My feet luckily both have the same size, but it's my brother's feet that inspired me for this lie

I did have a dinner with Jaques Chirac three years ago. I was not alone with him, though, and wouldn't have wanted to be I was among the winners of a gifted and talented students programme launching projects concerning the relationship and collaboration of French and German students. And as the Président was the host of the programme, he also showed up at the winners' dinner .

Yepp, quite so . I was born left-handed, but my elementary school for some reason only emphasized right-hand exercises beginning with writing, drawing, throwing balls, etc. Today I can do all things equally well with both hands, though some people complain that my right-hand-writing is less legible

So, Pensive, up to you !

I don't know why but I felt that the first one was a lie! By the way, I was taught how to write with right hand but I feel comfortable when I am doing things with my left hand. I play Badminton, Table Tennis or other games with left hand. When it comes on playing them with right hand, I play really badly. So I guess that I am also a left-handed person.

Hmmm, I guess that someone who hasn't tried before, can take the turn.

[Madhuri]

Okay, let me try once again.

This is a real tough one

1. I have been a national champion in 100 mtrs races.

2. I dont like eating.

3. I have jumped off from a very high spot into a river.

So, tell me which one is a lie.

The second one can be a truth because mostly on "what are you eating drinking right now" thread, you write that you are drinking water. Maybe, it means that you don't like eating much??

[Madhuri]

How does this mean it is a lie?

[Pensive]

I guess that the third one is a lie!

[RobinHood3000]

As do I. Number 3.

[Pendragon]

I'll also say three. To jump into a river from a very high spot and survive is so rare that it almost has to be the lie. You are alive, aren't you, Maddie?

[Madhuri]

Yes I am!!

Jumping into a river and surviving is possible, if the motive is not to commit suicide. It may not be true though.

[Pendragon]

True enough, lass! The point of contention was that you said "from a very high spot". After one reaches a certain hieght, intent becomes negligible. The hieght increases the force of the fall, so that hitting the water can be as bad as hitting concrete. But some HAVE survived; it's just unlikely.

[miss tenderness]

for change,I'll go for numb 1, I just can't imagine Mad running!

[Madhuri]

Okay for the lie, now.

No 1: It is a lie. I have never been a national champion. But, yes I have been an athlete in my school days, and did win medals, but never pursued it to the national level.

No 2: Is correct. I jus' dont like eating, I eat to live, to survive, that's it.

No 3: Is correct. I did jump from, say, a hight of about 3 or 4 story building into a river. It was when I went river-rafting, and there are spots from which you can do such acts, so, we stopped at this point, and there were many people doing this, we all survived coz we were wearing life jackets. How you jump into water makes a difference, if you fall flat, it will hurt, but if you dive and cut the water, then you'll survive, and that's what I did.

Ah, yes. Maddie! Now we get into the definition of what "very high spot" means. I fell three stories down a stairwell and survived with only a broken ankle, fell 40 feet out of a tree and survived with only a dislocated arm (from grabbing the last branch!) and so on. I was imagining a fall of much higher proportions, like jumping of the Golden Gate or Brooklyn Bridge. People have survived, but it's very rare. You got me!
