ODDS AND ENDS

 Can you explain the reasoning behind this "equation"?

What you swear to tell in court minus a truth plus a falsehood = An icebreaker

Answer:

What you swear to tell in court is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. That's three truths. Minus a truth leaves two truths. A falsehood is a lie, leaving you with two truths and a lie --- which is an icebreaker (party game to start conversation).
