supposed neighborhood. If someone tells you about a massive storm front
pummeling his area, but the national weather maps show nothing but sunny skies
where he allegedly lives, something’s not right.
If a story doesn’t seem to make a whole lot of sense, it’s not just because the
storyteller is odd or eccentric; it’s usually because the storyteller hasn’t
sufficiently thought things through. An online friend once told me that she had
been shot in the arm during an attempted armed robbery while working at a bar
the previous night. Several hours later, she was talking about going back to
work that very evening. I don’t care how tough you are, or how superficial your
gunshot wound might be - nobody goes right back to work the next day after
being shot. Nobody.
Another online friend, who allegedly lived half a world away, mentioned in one
of our conversations that she was downing a few shots of tequila as we chatted.
A quick glance at my world-clock told me that it was 7:00 AM on a weekday
where she was supposed to be. Considering the fact that she supposedly had a
twelve-year-old daughter that she drove to school daily and a job where she
allegedly worked banker’s hours, it’s not hard to see how the entire flimsy
concoction immediately began to fall apart under its own weight.
There are no silver bullets that will work in every situation, every single time.
The important thing is to pay attention to the little things. When something
doesn’t make sense, there’s usually a very good reason. Take note of the
inconsistencies. One or two may turn out to be nothing at all, but dozens?
A person who is telling the truth doesn’t have to have a good memory, but a liar
has to have an exceptional one, and most liars don’t.
