Get a taste of Jamaica at this South Side takeout shop, which serves up some of the best jerk in the city. The scent of grilling
chicken wafts outside this tiny space, where locals stream in to place orders through a glass window and wait for their food. There are
no seats--just a long ledge--so most business is takeout. Jerk chicken and wings are the most popular dishes, and deservedly so: The
smoky meat is mouthwateringly tender, with full-bodied jerk flavor that’s not overpoweringly hot. Other dishes include jerk catfish and
shrimp, plus Jamaican favorites like escovitch and callaloo.

Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important
information that should be included, he can create a false impression. For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on
the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!” This guy’s a wi nner, right?
Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser! He didn’t
say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically
lies, but they are just as dishonest.
Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state
lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During
Governor Smith’s term, the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor
Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”
Advertisers will sometimes use half-truths. It’s against the law to make false claims, so they try to mislead you with the truth. An
ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they o nly asked ten
doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation. This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies,
and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.
