True or False?

[Rev. Powell]

Very little of what is sold in stores as cinnamon, vanilla, or scallops is the real thing.

I'll say "false" but there's significant ambiguity in both "very little" and "the real thing."

[ER]

Yes, ambiguous terms, though Cassia is often sold as cinnamon, artificial vanilla can legally be listed on ingredients as simply "vanilla" (look for the term "natural" or "natural bean " or buy the pods if you can), and seafood companies have been caught a number of times cutting scallop-shaped dollops out of fish fillets and marketing them in grocery stores as scallops, arguing that "bay scallop" was an old term for serving fish cut in that shape, as well as being a type of small scallop. (According to The Food Network, the bigger or cheaper the scallop the more likely the chances it's a cut of fish.)

The man teaching Tyler guitar used to be in a punk band that had a black member and two white guys in it, and was called Two-Tone Turds.

Tyler who? Steven Tyler? He doesn't play guitar.

[ER]

Sorry about that. I meant Tyler, my cousin's son, the boy I spent so much time with when he was growing up.

This morning I was meeting a family that I was supposed to guide on a river trip, when I realized I had double booked a home school group to take out on the same day!  I had to cancel one group in order to take the other.

You've shared that you're a river guide and I know you are the artifact king of your state, but I also think that as a teacher you're used to making schedules and being organized and responsible, so I doubt you'd have made a mistake like that, so false. I hope!

[indianasmith]

Sadly true.  I felt awful!

My brother Glenn is a Nazi.

[ER]

My brother Glenn is a Nazi.

I think that's true, isn't it?

[Rev. Powell]

My brother Glenn is a Nazi.

I think that's true, isn't it?

Depends. Actual  member of the American Nazi Party? Probably false. Sympathizes with Nazi ideas? Probably true.

 ^ Yes. Is he a card member- I don't think so.

Two of these are true, and one is false:


On the night I heard Lou Reed died, I played Perfect Day, and slow danced to it with my husband.

I once went to a Halloween party dressed as "a PMS-ing Dorothy Parker with half a bottle of gin in her."

I've held a leash with a cheetah on the other end.

Cheetah's never prosper!
The last choice is false.

Look for the term "vanilla flavor".
