Your Spring Sense is Sight




You can’t help but be moved by the beauty of spring. The whole world changes in front of you.
You love every green shoot and every blooming plant. It’s like a picture is being colored!

You are artistic and very visual. If spring hasn’t inspired you to paint or draw yet, some day it probably will.
You always give yourself time to stop and take it all in. Nature is truly an amazing thing.

TWO OF THE YEARS BEST COMEBACKS

Number 1

If you ever testify in court, you might wish you could have been as sharp as this policeman. He was being cross-examined by a defense attorney during a felony trial. The lawyer was trying to undermine the police officer’s credibility …..

Q: ‘Officer — did you see my client fleeing the scene?’

A: ‘No sir. But I subsequently observed a person matching the description of the offender, running several blocks away.’

Q: ‘Officer — who provided this description?’

A: ‘The officer who responded to the scene.’

Q: ‘A fellow officer provided the description of this so-called offender. Do you trust your fellow officers?’

A: ‘Yes, sir. With my life.’

Q: ‘With your life? Let me ask you this then officer. Do you have a room where you change your clothes in preparation for your daily duties?’

A: ‘Yes sir, we do!’

Q: ‘And do you have a locker in the room?’

A: ‘Yes, sir, … I do.’

Q: ‘And do you have a lock on your locker?’

A: ‘Yes, sir.’

Q: ‘Now, … why is it, officer, if you trust your fellow officers with your life, you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with these same officers?’

A: ‘You see, sir — we share the building with the court complex, and sometimes lawyers have been known to walk through that room.’

The courtroom EXPLODED with laughter, and a prompt recess was called. The officer on the stand has been nominated for this year’s ‘Best Comeback’ line — and we think he’ll win.

Number 2: Now We Know Why He Was a General

In an recent interview, General Norman Schwarzkopf was asked if he thought there was room for forgiveness toward the people who have harbored and abetted the terrorists who perpetrated the 9/11 attacks on America.

His answer was classic Schwarzkopf.

The General said, “I believe that forgiving them is God’s function …. OUR job is to arrange the meeting.”

You got to love them both!

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

    Your Spring Sense is Sound
    You love the way the sounds change during the spring time. It’s like the whole world is waking up.
    First the birds start chirping. Then the kids start playing. Before you know it, life is back in full swing again.

    You are observant, thoughtful, and even philosophical. You like taking the time to pay attention to things.
    You notice the little details that everyone else seems to overlook. And your memories tend to be extremely vivid.

    I wish this was true… my memory is not always too vivid. I thought your sense fit me better actually…

  5. I love both of those! What a hoot! Wish I could come up with a smart ass reply as good as those! My spring sense is Sight. Surprise, surprise! Hope you have a great weekend, my friend!
