"How To Get Out of a Bad Mood" Episode #20

The rain, gas prices, the sickness in my family and the economy reminded me that I may not be the only one a little down.  Here is a reminder how to get out of your funk.  Plus a little joke about a robot lie detector.  Scripture refs used on the show are below:

---

Romans 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and
acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Proverbs 23:7
For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: Eat and drink, saith he to
thee; but his heart is not with thee.

Haggai 1:5
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.

Phil 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure,
whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if
there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

LIE DETECTOR!

John was a salesman's delight when it came to any kind of unusual
gimmick.  His wife Marsha had long ago given up trying to get him to
change.  One day John came home with another one of his unusual
purchases.  It was a robot that John claimed was actually a lie detector.

It was about 5:30 that afternoon when Tommy, their 11 year old son,
returned home from school.

Tommy was over 2 hours late.

"Where have you been? Why are you over 2 hours late getting home?"
asked John.  "Several of us went to the library to work on an extra
credit project," said Tommy.  The robot then walked around the table
and slapped Tommy, knocking him completely out of his chair.
"Son," said John, "this robot is a lie detector, now tell us where you
really were after school."

"We went to Bobby's house and watched a movie." said Tommy.
"What did you watch?" asked Marsha.
"The Ten Commandments." answered Tommy.

The robot went around to Tommy and once again slapped him, knocking
him off his chair once more.  With his lip quivering, Tommy got up, sat down and said, "I am sorry I lied. We really watched a tape called Sex Queen."

"I am ashamed of you son," said John.  "When I was your age, I never lied to my parents."

The robot then walked around to John and delivered a whack that nearly
knocked him out of his chair.

Marsha doubled over in laughter, almost in tears and said, "Boy, did you ever ask for that one!  You can't be too mad with Tommy.  After all, he is your son!"

With that the robot immediately walked around to Marsha and knocked
her out of her chair.
