That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for November 08, 2019

Jack and Jill went to the well to fetch a pail of water — and THIS POPPED UP!

What you get when you wish for the naked truth.

“We TOLD you not to play Stairway To Heaven!!”

Sybil got an unnatural thrill out of peeing in the village well.

Did she cut the arms off that baby?

No wonder everybody’s running.

you want the truth?! you can’t handle the truth emerging from the well!!

Truth Emerging from the Well

The plain unvarnished facts. Allegedly this term came from a fable in which Truth and Falsehood went bathing. Falsehood finished first and dressed in Truth’s garments, whereupon Truth, unwilling to take Falsehood’s clothes, went naked.

It looks more like a feather than a knife. Her grip is mainly on the frame of the well.

Perhaps the minstrel has been tripped up on one of his lies?

To quote somebody else…

“You can’t handle the Truth!”

Lady Godiva had gone to the bathroom and someone stole her horse.

I’m struggling to understand the original meaning of this painting!

Early feminists were a little radical.

That artist stinks! So that’s supposed to be people fleeing from Truth, but the city doesn’t look anything like Washington, DC!

Jackie was disappointed that the villagers were so uptight that she couldn’t get to the part about the whole chicken during her explanation of eroticism versus kinkiness.

marie had long dreamt of a career as a pole dancer…

Why politicians won’t drain the swamp – afraid of this emerging.

“Well, since was told what I should expect, I thought I’d (un)dress accordingly. Honestly, there’s just no pleasing some people.”

Headline News: Tickling Tess Trips Troubadour & Terrifies Townspeople!

I told you to quit serenading me under my bathroom window, you pervert! Where’s the town guard when you need them? A girl’s gotta do everything herself in this town…grumble, grumble, grumble…

The populace wasn’t ready for Shakespeare’s Flashdance.

Butt Noooo!

Everyone thinks it would be cool to have a magical water nymph until one actually shows up. Go figure.

Some sort of Trojan Horse deal going on here?

As a man I would look up on the truth with awe.

“That’s the last time you throw a whole Franc in the Wishing Well! Get back here, you pervert!”

The “25 Cents A Peep” show’s profits suffered from it’s inability to hide the performer from the non-paying public.

YouTube debuts its “Epic Fail!” segment.

Truth seems to be quite comfortable in her own skin.

Melania finally turned on Trump.

Where can I get a well like that?

If a young lady, Truth or not, has been naked in the well, I’ll decline a glass of water with my meal, thanks.

The original reason for the Clean Water Act.

It won’t be long before this will be reported as ‘fake news’.

“I hired you to build a cage. A whole cage.” “Yes, but part of the budget was diverted to building the wall.”

A search found the original title of the painting is “Truth Emerging From the Well.” That might help make sense of it. Well, sort of.

No, no, no! Don’t Leave … really, you will love it! You put your left foot out, …

There goes the neighborhood !

I had a dream my life would be

So diff’rent from this hell I’m living

So diff’rent now from what it seemed

Now life has killed the dream I dreamed

—Les Misérables

“For God’s sake don’t let her touch the floor!”

Guess what one little boy wished for?

From the well, Truth arose unclad/ bearing news that was really bad/ and they had to acknowledge/ the electoral college/ and the rest is history. Sad !

When looking at the naked truth, we politely avert our eyes.
