Who is right???

Recommended Posts

Alright, my wife and I are having a debate. Who is right?

That old rhyme: Liar, liar, pants on fire......
what comes next???

I say it's: ...nose as long as a telephone wire.

She says: ...Tarzan hanging from a telephone wire.

Who is right???

i voted for you. i've always heard "hanging from a telephone wire" but never any mention of tarzan. that doesn't mean she's wrong though, just a couple years ago i heard and alternated (not so nice) ending of eenie, meenie, minee mo.

Perhaps you're both wrong?

Origin of the phrase "Liar,Liar pants on fire."

LIAR, LIAR - "Liar, liar, pants on fire, hang them up on telephone wire. (Said to a lying child)" This is a "derisive rhyme" used by children. "Tradition teaches the child to use sayings in certain situations to make a point emphatically. Such sayings can provide a quick and easy response to the taunt of another child, or a powerful demonstration of the child's stand. The sayings contain a collective wisdom that exerts a certain amount of pressure on children. In other cases, sayings offer a form of play with words; children use the traditional structure of such sayings to play with the rhythm, rhyme, and meaning of words to draw attention to themselves."

From "American Children's Folklore: A Book of Rhymes, Games, Jokes, Stories, Secret Languages, Beliefs and Camp Legends for Parents, Grandparents, Teachers, Counselors and All Adults Who Were Once Children" by Simon J. Bronner (August House Inc., Little Rock, Ark., 1988).

That line will forever be ruined by Frank Caliendo doing an impression of Al Pacino saying that line. If you've ever seen Frank Caliendo's standup, you understand and are probably laughing right now.

You could tell each other this one when the other is proven wrong:

Baby, baby, stick your head in gravy
Wrap it up in bubble gum and send it to the navy

:P
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

I grew up with it being "nose as long as a telephone wire" based on pinocchio...and the nose that grew when he lied! :ph34r:
