Robert Caldwell arrived and hastily took a seat with his new support group just as the testimonial phase got underway. "My name is Cindy Mathews and I'm a councilwoman from Des Moines," began the pleasant looking young woman at the podium, "and I'm also suffering from a rare strain of the politically life threatening disease known as, An Inability to Lie or Deny."The room went silent for quite some time, aside from those, that is, who upon hearing the news were moved to weep openly.
"She's so young!" blubbered a visibly shaken female senator, whose Kleenex was rapidly turning mascara saturated purple.
"But wait, there's good news!" added miss Mathews, causing the crowd to immediately perk-up in their seats. "Thanks to Dr. Burns and the staff here at Pinocchio Memorial, I'm happy to say that my disease is now in full remission!"
