I heard this one in an episode of "Criminal Minds" and liked it a lot.

Hello Jade.

I wasn't able to write this one down right away, which is what I usually do. So when I looked it up a short time later, i found a whole bunch of them. So I'll have to post those too.

Smith would later say that the horse looked right through him, as if to say,"What are you looking at? Who do you think you are?" He was a small horse, barely 15 hands. He was hurting too.
