How we remember- FALL back

We always change ours the night before we go to bed.


Not trying to do a stand-up routin here, but that saying has always
confused me. Think about it:

Picture a spring. Pull on a spring. When you let go, it springs BACK.
Not forward! When a spring is BEING a spring, it springs back.


Not all springs are created equal. Some are designed for COMPRESSION,
you don't pull on those springs, but you push on them.


Like the springs on one's car.
