I took a poly the other day and I had gas. I couldn't hold it in but I kept farting throughout the polygraph session (loud smelly ones too). The polygrapher accused me of using my farts as a countermeasure and warned me to stop, but I couldn't. Though the smell was asphyxiating, the seat sensor recorded every time I pooted and it pissed off the polygrapher as he started to interrogate me. "I know what you are doing, stop farting! I know you are hiding something and you better tell me what it is. I don't waste time with people who try to beat the machine". This sucks, I was yelled at and interrogated for hours and accused of using countermeasures all because of a little gas. Do you think I failed the poly? I haven't heard anything back yet. Can having gas cause you to fail?
POOT
Your didn't pass. His nose that is. You should have told him "if I try to squeeze it off your little machine would certainly show countermeasures". This is the best one yet. LMAO.
POOT,
This is the funniest story I have read in a long time. I'm sure it is not funny to you, however it will be in my book! I cannot recall this ever happening or being reported by an examiner at a seminar.
The examiner should have stopped the exam and rescheduled you for a time when you did not have a "gas" problem.
I interrogated dozens of detainees in that Vietnam business, using a variety of stress techniques. We never learned anything from these sessions. They learned how to stonewall us, and just endured our threats in stony silence.
I think if they had started farting at us, the war would have taken an entirely different course.

This story was a bunch of BS...I can't believe people actually fell for it.
This is the funniest thing I have ever read.....lol ;D
