    I would hate to go thru life living in fear that I am going to be caught in a "lie" or an "omission" that I made. And don't come around and try to tell me that you are not guilty, the only difference between us and the poor souls in prison, they got caught, we haven't been caught. LOL Give you a good example, I see these trucks with "5 million miles safe driver" plastered on the side of their tractors. The thought goes thru my mind, "you ain't told everything".

    The last DOT physical that I had,10 months ago, under the heading of what medications are you on, I put NONE. The doctor could not believe it, he said, "a man 85 years old, I do not believe this". He asked who was my personal doctor, he went and called him and came back with a $$itty look on his face and gave me a 2 year card. LOL

    When I had my last personal physical, my doctor was excited that I was not taking anything. He said "at my age, I'm ahead of the game!"

    Remember this: "I lied to get the job, you lied about the job, we are even"!
