*laughs* No. There is really no such thing. I read people, by their voice, body, movements and, mostly, their facial microexpressions. It's a science, and I have a firm where we do that for law enforcement and private clients.

I'm Doctor Lightman, by the way.

Oh, I see. You're one of those science guys that are firmly rooted in 'reality', and a doctor to boot.

So, Doctor Lightman, what do you do when you're confronted with the unexplained or fantastic?

[lie-detector-dr.livejournal.com]

Nothing is without explanation, of some kind or another. However, if you are asking me if I believe in tooth fairies and Santa, then I would probably say that is explained by parents who have too much time on their hands and not a very good grasp of concrete child raising.

*snorts softly* Well, yeah! Everyone knows St. Nick bit the big one years ago.

I still can't believe they made the guy a saint though. He was such a perv!

*eyebrows lift, slightly* Right, well, what can one say about a fat guy in a red suit, who hangs out with little kids on his lap, elves and shiny nose reindeer.

*tilts his head* Low on medications, darling?

High on life, dear.

Ah, right. My daughter, Em, found a photo of me baked in the jungle with a tribe, purely research, mind you. Unfortunately, it was while I was punishing her for having a wild, drunken party with a hundred of her dear friends, in my ex's house, while she was away. So, who am I to condemn anyone for indulging?

However, I hear it causes wrinkles. Might want to be careful, there, darling.

Aw, you're all concerned. That's sweet, but it's totally not necessary. I have really, really good genes.

[lie-detector-dr.livejournal.com]

I suspect you do, luv. You're a beautiful woman.

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

Well, you really are the sweetest thing. *air kiss*

[lie-detector-dr.livejournal.com]

Funny...I've never had anyone say that to me before.

[idealized-sue.livejournal.com]

Well that's because most people are silly, obviously.
