On the radio recently...they had a contest...they gave you 3 news stories and asked you to pick the "real one" I picked the right one...because it's the one where I thought...who the hell would make that up.
So..I for one believe you...because why in the hell would you make something like that up? Not that it's bad...I just...don't think you would.

We all have heard sad stories about pets and lucky is a common name. So yes I believe you. But as Lion says you can be a kidder, so there is probably more to your question which will make us think. Never a bad thing.
Anyone one I share this story with...is faced with a choice to decide if I have lied to them or not. That choice will become there reality, unless I counter it with proof.
In the absence of proof, they build their own reality,
but I have a choice when and who to share the story with.
Given that I belive many will not believe the story,
and given my ability to choose wether or not too share it,
am I also in some way contributing to creating a false reality for them?
If you toss a coin, the coin is in a state of both heads and tails until you actually observe it. However, the very act of observing, causes it to be suddenly in a definite state.
So...ummm...yeah. you are contributing to my having a false reality!

I had never thought of it as we create liars, I had always taken someone at their word (ok sometimes with a pinch of salt) until they are proven a liar, I do hope to see honesty in people. Friendships are baised on honesty.

Feeling that the dog was fortunate to have been saved she named it Lucky.
(yes you do know where this is going)
Some time passed and she gave the dog to my freind.
Some time after that the dog was hit by a car and had one hind leg amputated.
Some more time passed and as the dog aged he went blind.
In summation...
My friend had a three legged blind dog named Lucky.
This is a true story.
My question to you is...
Do you believe me?
