Maybe true, maybe not:

During the heat of the space race in the 1960's, the U.S. National
Aeronautics and Space Administration decided it needed a ball
point pen to write in the zero gravity confines of its space
capsules. After considerable research and development, the
Astronaut Pen was developed at a cost of about $1 million U.S.
The pen worked and also enjoyed some modest success as a
novelty item back here on Earth. The Soviet Union, faced with the
same problem, used a pencil.

A preacher visits an elderly woman from his congregation.  As he
sits on the couch he notices a large bowl of peanuts on the coffee
table.  "Mind if I have a few" he asks.  "No, not at all" the woman
replied. They chat for an hour and as the preacher stands to
leave, he realizes that instead of eating just a few peanuts, he
emptied most of the bowl.  "I'm terribly sorry for eating all your
peanuts, I really just meant to eat a few." "Oh thats all right" the
woman says. "Ever since I lost my teeth all I can do is suck the
chocolate off them."

suspect wasn't telling the truth, they pressed the "Copy" button,
ejecting the message.  Believing that  the "lie detector" was
working, the suspect confessed.
