FOOD FOR THOUGHT

Your as good as your dog if:

you can start the day without caffeine,
you can get going without pep pills,
you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,
you can eat the same food everyday and be grateful for it,
you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,
you can overlook it when those you love take it out on you when,
through no fault of yours, something goes wrong,
you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
you can ignore a friend's limited education and never correct him,
you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,
you can face the world without lies and deceit,
you can conquer tension without medical help,
you can relax without liquor,
you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
you can say honestly that deep in your heart you have no prejudice
against creed, color, religion or politics,

COURTROOM LAUGH

A defense attorney was cross-examining a police officer during a felony trial - it went like this:

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 locker room in the police station - 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 that 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,
that you find it necessary to lock your locker in a room you share with those same officers?

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

With that, the courtroom erupted in laughter, and a prompt recess was called.
