Hint
It's a fairly legalistic sort of passage.Answer
I swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.Explanation:
I swear (curse)
To (two) tell
The truth = not lies, but the truth
The whole truth = Not just smaller parts of the truth ie. Trut and Tru
and (+)
Nothing but the truth = not the truth and anything else ie. anecdotes or stories
So (sew/stitch)
Help (aid)
Me (moi)
God (Deity)

Very nicely done!!
Definitely the best rebus I've seen!
Excellent!!!Really interesting!Actually just learned this phrase...not long ago...when reading "To Kill A Mockingbird"
Hey, thanks so much everyone
I really liked this one. Had a bit of trouble until I read the hint - then I immediately got it. After years of legal work, it just jumped right off the page at me! Very creative.
Great, pleased you liked it and that it didn't hit you in the head when it jumped off the page
that had to be the best rebus EVER. had I not had the hint I never would have gotten it. I thought it was weird and crazy before the hint. still really really good.
Thanks Poseidon, I'm pleased you liked it... it was a big one to construct.
that was hard!!, I loved it! thanks
Great, thanks
That was great. You're one of the two rebus masters on the site.
Wow, thanks Paul, I really appreciate that.
Excellent!!
That was very good!!! Used the hint < but I really should have had it . But I liked it Thx- Looking forward to more.
I got "I Swear" then "to tell" and knew what was coming then. Very nice one!
I got it after the second clue; but
fail to understand "moi".
fail to understand "moi".
never would have gotten it without the hint
feste: moi means me in French
feste: moi means me in French
I cannot lie. I did not get this. Really a good teaser.
OK you finally got me working my brain,but I figured it out. The two tells gave it away.
I swear, it was a very good rebus! I liked it very much!
What I also am happy to see is all the positive comments! Lots of nice compliments, Dsquared!
Would love more like this one!

boreing yawn
Yawn, too ...
Oh, and I think it's a stretch to call this a rebus...
Difficult at first, but the middle gave it away.
Took me a minute, butI got it after reading the clue.
got the beginning and the end but the middle part was hard. i liked it keep em coming
Neat! Only got it after reading the hint about legality....(always too impatient!) Thanks, dsquared.
TO TELL THE TRUTH... I loved it
I got it all except for (the whole
truth) part.
Clever & challenging.

Normally I send Monday teasers about the office to help my colleagues deal with the simple fact that it is a Monday.
You, sir, forced me to send around a Wednesday teaser too. Awesome job!

I didn't get it until I saw the last line. I knew deity was God and then figured out the line working backwards. Once I did that, everything else fell into place!
I should have done the same thing and worked it backwards. Sometimes I have better luck doing that. I was just too impatient today to work it out. Great teaser though!
It was a well-thought rebus but a little bit poorly executed IMO... sorry
Can someone help me with this one? I get the beginning and end of the phrase, but in the middle I see:
Lies
-->TruthTruthTruth
Lies
-->TruthTruthTruth
That's weird, even my comment came out differently then I see it!!! Does anyone else see -->Truth
Again it didn't show up as I see it!!!Weird.
Don't try to figure things like this out when you are on pain meds.
LMAO, it doesn't work
Monday~
LMAO, it doesn't work
Monday~
i almost got it. the last part through me
I liked it..and I got it
(so basically it was the perfect teaser)
= D
(so basically it was the perfect teaser)
= D
The last line gave it to me, otherwise, I was stumped. good one
yay I got it! Great teaser
It was fairly easy, but I really liked it...I'm surprised Froggy didn't get it instantly, after all those phrases quizes a couple of weeks ago
Well I must be a dope tonight! I don't get it.
Wow, overwhelmed by all the comments - and yes, I mean all of them. No teaser will ever please everyone so thanks all for your thoughts on this. I'm pleased it managed to please most
I had NO CLUE at 1st then my mom told me So YAY!
You have a smart Mum
That was tough!
