The Sounds of Sackett
(sing to the tune of "The Sounds of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel)

Hello applicant, my old friend
I've come to retest you again
Because of a suspicion softly creeping
Left its seeds while you were testing
And the deception that I planted in your brain
Still remains
Within the sound of sackett!

With restless nerves you walked alone
Agency halls away from home 
'Within the space of my examination room
I sealed your fate to dust pan and broom
When my eyes were caught by the squiggle of a pen
I knew I had you then
It touched the sound of sackett

And in that fateful hall I saw
Ten thousand applicants, maybe more
People lying without knowing
People failing without lying
People explaining lies of which they just were not aware
Cuz no one dared
Disturb the sound of sackett

Grin
  

"There is no direct and unequivocal connection between lying and these physiological states of arousal...(referring to polygraph)."

Dr. Phil Zimbardo, Phd, Standford University

And the polygraphers bowed and prayed,
To the psuedo-science they had made,
And in the shadow of a false positive,
They conspired to dismiss it as a whim, 
When their guise was exposed by the light of anti-polygraph.org,
Which they now abhor,
Such is life, in the sounds of sackett.


  

"Although the degree of reliability of polygraph evidence may depend upon a variety of identifiable factors, there is simply no way to know in a particular case whether a polygraph examiner's Conclusion is accurate, because certain doubts and uncertainties plague even the best polygraph exams."  (Justice Clarence Thomas writing in United States v. Scheffer, 523 U.S. 303, 118 S.Ct. 1261, 140 L.Ed.2d 413, 1998.)

OUTSTANDING!   

I like it!  In fact, I have printed it out and will reformat it to post in my office as a poem.  It will surely cause discussion, thereby allowing me to get my message accross better than has been accepted here. 

Thanks guys for imortalizing me in the name of polygraph...


Sackett  Cool

For my little part, you are welcome.  A little humor now and then does absolutely no harm...

Since the assumptions of many on this board are that I am a bored high school simpleton drop out; having attained my GED through no-doubt suspicious means and methods, and after a lifetime of numerous, meaningless jobs, then after having attended a short trade school of mystical and unscientific proposition and that I am now, out prowling the countryside for unsuspecting, honest, naive applicants to ruin and besmerch (sic) of reputation, thereby adding to the rolls of disgruntled, expectant unemployed public servants on this site.....All for my own distorted, twisted and sadistic entertainment; well, I guess

You are welcome! Grin
