Re: Mind's Eye Re: Instinct for survival

Early this morning, late last night, two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other, drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise and went to rescue the 2 dead boys.
If you don't believe this tale so tall , ask the blind man.He saw it all.
