Rapaire tells only the truth, the complete truth, the whole truth. Sometimes he tells a truth and a half, or even two or three truths, all at once. Every year whilst he was a-growin' he won the St. Dismas School For Wayward Youth Truth-Telling Medal, kindergarten through high school. In college he was famous for his forthright truthfulness, which is why he didn't have any friends and never got a date.
