Police Work At Its Best
From the email inbox:
*********************
Two policemen call the station on the radio:
“Hello. Is that the Sarge?”
“Yes.”
“We have a case here. A woman has shot her husband for stepping on the floor
she has just mopped clean.”
“Have you arrested the woman?”
“No sir. The floor is still wet.”
Wisdom
“As the soft yield of water cleaves obstinate stone,
So to yield with life solves the insolvable: To yield,
I have learned, is to come back again.”
– Lao Tzu
