Joe D."Here's my rhetorical question to everyone out there who was just accused of a horrific crime of which you were 100% innocent: if you were offered a polygraph test to be administered by an agreed-upon tester -- and it would clear your name and you were told it was 99% accurate -- would you hesitate? Of course, not."
even though it was a rhetorical, I will answer.
I most probably would hesitate to take a lie detector test.
I am not sure I would pass any polygraph - ever. I get a bit nervous when I am accused. I tend to think of the implication of a question - and then say to myself - 'oh man they think I did such and such.' I never took my pulse during accusatory questions - but I am sure it jumps on the implications of a question - and I would make that little needle dance around.
I am not making a commentary on Roger Clemens. Just saying that I am doomed if I ever had to take a polygraph.
