It's OK, Lara.  I find the idea of hooking someone up to a fake machine and saying "tell the truth" hilarious.

Thanks Lara, Tina, Rosie, restore, and Doyle!  I'm glad I don't have the only slightly off sense of humor =D

Gene, I hate to say it, but I've never seen that movie.  What's the reference?

Is this a quote from Tom Cruise?

Nope, I pulled the quote from the fake "Man on the Street" interviews on The Onion.  I thought the quote was hilarious, especially when no context was given for it.

Bumper Sticker I love:  "Visualize Whirled Peas"

Hahha!!!

When I was a kid, I used to sing "Sleep in heavenly peas"!

Jess, your quote just reminded me of the scientologists and the contraptions used to supposedly monitor and attune brain waves to maximize 'enlightenment'.  And yes, it is funny to me too.

Are those peas actually from heaven, or just the Valley of the Jolly Green Giant?  I never really trusted him...after the Jack and the beanstalk and all....

Jess,

In the movie, the character played by Ben Stiller goes to "Meet the parents" of his fiance`.  The father has a lie detector in the basement and asks Ben some "interesting" questions. 

Imagine the possibilities. . . .

Ha!  That's hilarious!  I'm sure every dad has wanted to do that, thought......

Don took mine. But I'm going to explain the context for anyone who doesn't know it.

Someone close to me once went up on on a mountain and "Ommmmed" with other New Agers to bring peace to the earth on World Peace Day. His van had a "Visualize World Peace" sticker on it. My reaction was not one of visualizing peace. Then one day I looked up and saw this on the bumper of the car in front of me: "Visualize Whirled Peas." I couldn't believe my eyes! God took away my anguish with laughter. I never see the peace sticker that I don't think about the peas sticker and laugh!

Does that qualify me for the "slightly warped sence of humor" club?

That's a good one Don!

I got the Scientology connection right away--because I met some once and they tried to recruit me and a friend of mine. They use an e-meter hooked to your head to zap your engrams during memory audit sessions with a clear. If that's not random, I don't know what is! My friend and I just looked at each other and shouted "Run" at the same time. I still laugh about that.

That's funny, Jay!  Welcome to the club =D

Don, I like Ike!

Birdie, I'm glad you could outrun the crazies (or at least that particular pack of them).

Another one:

"In a surprise announcement this morning, it was revealed that the Meek have inherited the Earth. The actual change of ownership itself happened three weeks ago, but the spokesperson for the Meek was too shy to contact the press."

Nice one Gene!

A friend of mine has this for his email signature:

"Visualize Whirled Peas"
"Sleep in heavenly peas"
Then there's:  "Green Peas"

This always pops into my mind in small groups at the end of the session:  "Anybody got any prairie quests?"  I'm like, "Yeah, I'm looking for a jackalope."

Nice Restore =D

Thanks Eric.  With all the genetic engineering going on,  maybe we'll see a jackalope in our lifetime.

Hope this isn't too far off topic:

I always thought the lyrics to that old country song were:

400 children and a dog that won't heel. You picked a fine time to leave me lucille.

Howdy Michelle!  You mean it isn't that?

When I was a kid, I thought the words to another song were:
"Sleep in heavenly peas."
