One of my favorite kinds of humor is stunning hypocrisy. Those quotes that leave you momentarily speechless, not believing such words have truly been uttered.

I love this time of year, a balance between the cold of Winter, and the Heat of Summer, without the wet of Spring. Delicious abundance of the best tasting fruits and vegetables. All the little animals are scurrying about, busy with seasonal preparations. The lawn quits growing, so I don't have to mow anymore.
