"Truesies
and Falsies"
by Robert T. Blackburn
from
Nugget: The Man's World
December, 1958
The
Answer:
Tom reasoned this way--suppose
my Diana was what I thought she was. If so Dick would have witnessed Harry's
deceiver and my lass of high principles. Then Dick would reason--"If my
Jayne is no wearer of falsies, Harry will have seen two advertisements
come true, and he wouldn't wipe his brow. But he wiped it; so I must have
a deceiver." But Dick did not go over and pick up the money. And Harry
would have reasoned just as Dick did, but he too did not pick up the loot.
Hence my assumption that Diana was true to her appearance is false. She
is also a deceiver."
