Honesty is More Than Not Lying

She was too honest for her own good. “When you were out of town last night, I had a fling with another man. I am so sorry!”

He paused, trying to get control of himself but couldn’t contain his rage. Striding across the room, he grabbed her by the throat, choking her until she drew her last breath. The perpetrator was arrested the next day.

Carl was the foreman of the jury who heard the case. “The jury finds the defendant guilty” he said as he read the verdict.

Unfortunately, the police had mistakenly arrested the man with whom the honest young lady had the one night stand. His DNA was all over her apartment and he had left traces in her panties which they found in her laundry hamper.

Carl, the jury foreman, smiled, knowing his girlfriend and her lover got exactly what they deserved!
