Wit apologies to seriousness, this joke (time for some laughs)
seems to speak rather eloquently to the two truths issue.

Two blind pilots 

Two blind pilots were both wearing dark glasses. One is using a
guide dog and the other is tapping his way along the aisle with a
cane. Nervous laughter spreads through the cabin, but the men
enter the cockpit, the door closes and the engines start up. The
passengers begin glancing nervously around, searching for some
sign that this is just a little practical joke. None is
forthcoming. 

The plane moves faster and faster down the runway and the people
sitting in the window seats realize they're 
headed straight for the water at the edge of the airport. As it
begins to look as though the plane will plough into the water,
panicked screams fill the cabin. At that moment, the plane lifts
smoothly into the air. 

The passengers relax and laugh a little sheepishly and soon all
retreat into their magazines, secure in the knowledge that the
plane is in good hands. In the cockpit, one of the blind pilots
turns to the other and says, "You know, Bob, one of these days,
they're gonna scream too late and we're all gonna die."
