DENVER - A man who sued Home Depot Inc. claiming that a prank left him glued to a restroom toilet seat has passed a lie detector test with questions about allegations that he made previous a similar claim in another town, a newspaper reported.

Bob Dougherty answered 20 questions in the polygraph test, including four related to a former Nederland town official's allegation that Dougherty made similar claims there, The Rocky Mountain News reported in Thursday's editions.

Dougherty, 57, had offered to take the test to dispel doubts about his story. The test, administered Wednesday, was paid for by television station KDVR.

Ron Trzepacz, former director of operations in Nederland, where Dougherty lives, had said that Dougherty claimed in 2004 that he was glued to a toilet seat in the town's visitor center but pulled himself free.

Dougherty has denied that and has said he did not know Trzepacz.

Dougherty's lawsuit, filed Oct. 28, claims that officials at the Home Depot in Louisville called for an ambulance after he had been stuck for about 15 minutes. Paramedics unbolted the toilet seat, which separated from his skin, leaving abrasions, according to the suit.

The lawsuit also claims Dougherty was recovering from heart bypass surgery and thought he was having a heart attack when he got stuck. The lawsuit claims he suffered pain, humiliation and financial losses and seeks $3 million in damages.

3 million bucks?! I believe I want to be glued to a toilet seat.

Can't believe how much reporting is being done on a guy that had his bum glued to a toilet seat.

Sorry Kratos the topic was posted earlier.

Where? Because I don't see it.

It is around, did'nt notice which forum.

There is the first news report on it, then there is one where he is saying he is willing to take the test. This thread is about him taking the test and passing it.

Ok well, it's here, here (although that one was actually an earlier topic by you Kratos!!), there's one here...

Then I apologise, whole heartedly.

I will go away and thrash myself for my stupidity and wasteing your time.

I'm wondering now... how I could set this up at the local Home Depot for 3 million bucks.

I will Never believe a polygraph. Ever.

Exactly. A polygraph picks up signs of nervousness on the belief that people show these signs when telling lies. If you take one when you're stressed and nervous it will show up as lies. If you can calmly tell the lies in full belief in yourself it won't pick it up then it will show you're telling the truth. The fact that the man in the article was willing (and actually OFFERED) to take the test tells me he knew there wouldn't be a problem. I'm not saying it tells me he's lying as it could be either, only he knows, just that he's confident enough in his knowledge that the results will be negative for a lie to ask for the test

Three million for being glued to a toilet seat. How greedy are some people becoming!?!?!?!?

Maybe he should have planted a rotten rat also - he would have got a cool 4m then

For three million maybe we should all try that!
