Consider the mystery surrounding a lady who stumbles into a police station with a black eye. She claims she heard a noise in her back yard and went to investigate. The next thing she knows, she tells the desk sergeant, she is hit in the eye and knocked out cold.

The sergeant dispatches an officer to her house to investigate, and he returns an hour and a half later -- with a black eye.

"Did you get hit by the same person?" the sergeant asks.

"No," says the patrolman. "I stepped on the same rake."
