Honest question, , , , , am I the only one who thinks of this whenever talk of an expectation of truth comes up?

I doubt it...love that scene...and that film. Cruise acquitted himself rather well going toe to toe with Jack.

Always thought thought this is where your "suppositions" were kept...but I suppose I could be wrong?

Be sure to remove the foil first!

A little history: There was this person who came into the ER complaining about his asthma attacks. He'd been prescribed Aminophylline suppositories, but never instructed on how to use them correctly. You could see the stains coming down from his nose.
