Comic Relief on Television tonight

[NightOwl]

once in awhile I surf into "Cops" and tonight it has been hilarious (although I realize that isnt their chief intention)

Well, they had a bunch of people tonight who had--for various reasons--decided to take off   ALL THEIR CLOTHES.  :yikes:  (The cameras faced quite a challenge in keeping things fit for the family hour  :J )  Of course, most of these poor souls were completely smashed on some kind of substance and didnt give a rip, but some of them acted like it was completely normal to be nekkid on a city street  in front of a big hotel and why was some bad cop hassling them about it?  :Z

Then they encountered a very good looking lady who was having carnal knowledge of men not her husband, and her remarks to the cops were bleeped  so much (she was describing a certain activity in some detail apparently  :eek: )  and it was just one bleep after another.  I just wonder how these young men and women manage to keep their cool and remain poised and professional (which they always seem to do.):#

But the best one was a cross-dresser with a Brit accent who really made a very ugly looking woman--except he was wearing shorts and had pretty decent legs.  He told the cops he had three children and his wife encouraged him in his interesting hobby.  (Well, she probably had some extra dresses she didnt need anymore so...)

"Encouraged him in his hobby" :screwy:  She must REALLY want to keep the family together!!  Dang, it's posts like this that make me wish Birol were here - I'd love to hear his comment!!!  :p

It's not easy.

I've run into that problem when I was working and you just do the best you can and then have a good laugh after work.

And here I thought you were talking about the debates....

Chip--it is SO funny you said that.  An hour or two after  after I had sent the thread, I had this horrific stroke of awareness and suddenly remembered the debates and thought ,"Oh,  good Lord, I hope no one thought I was posting this title to make fun of them."

But--well--if the shoes fits--

Hee, hee, this year my presidential choice is based on the words of that great philosopher (I think it was Pogo)   and I am voting for "the lesser of two weevils"
 

It is hard to be an independent--no one ever nominates  a candidate I  really feel I  can like and trust completely.

So..... which bathroom would he/she use?:confused:
I agree Nightowl, I don't understand how cops keep their cool either. Takes a special person to do the job well.

Another reason is why they drink!
When I did this(deputy sheriff) for a living, I had never drank, by the end of my 3rd year, I drank a lot... I dont drink anymore... or less... Not really.. It took me several years of being off the force to quit drinking and then I got help from above..
But really cops have one of the highest suicide, divorce and alcoholism rates of any profession..
When you watch cops on TV you see the good stuff, they can't show the really bad stuff on TV..
Been there done that!!!

Yep ~ it's a profession that is very hard on a person and their family.  Takes a really special person to hold a law enforcement family together.

Ive been a Cop for 15 years and like anything else ya kind of get used to it, in fact you almost expect it.  Ive been lucky in that I never turned to the bottle to drown my sorrows. I became a work a-holic. Physical labor has always worked for me and my wife likes the fact that Im constantly remodeling the house or building furniture. Ive seen some strange things.....

[NightOwl]

Well, there are sometimes a few  laughs even when you  are dealing with violent death.  A high school friend I dated became a MIami policemen ( back before the Cuban immigration) and his first beat was in a Coconut Grove neighborhood where at that time,  there were a lot of little shotgun houses with about 3 rooms in a row with the back and front doors  lined up right in a straight row.  

And one of Bob's first calls was to a home where a man lay dead of many, many stab wounds.  The man suspected of the killing  explained that  he hadnt really meant any harm to the other fellow.

And he expalined the whole thing by saying that he had suspected his wife of  entertainling a gentleman friend in his absence.  so he pretended to go to work that  day but came back and watched the house until he saw the boyfriend arrive

So the husband waited a few minutes and  knocked loudly on the front door of the house. and then ran  at top speed to the back door just in time to see the boyfriend hastily emerging still buttoning various articles of clothing.  And he told the cops:

" No, SIR, I did not try to hurt him!  See?  I had my knife out for self-defense just in case he might attack me.  And he just kept running into it and backing up and running into it and backing up and then running into it again.  Officer, it was just purely an accident that he got killed with my knife."

IIRC  Bob said the victim had been  "accidently" stabbed 18 times.

In the south here, we have an expression I just love.  "Graveyard dead."  And I believe the MIami Boys in Blue would have described that pooor stabbed man as "graveyard dead" for sure!.

Or, as Neal Boortz from WSB Radio in Atlanta would say "Tango Uniform, D.R.T" which is phonetic for T.U.D.R.T. meaning "Toes Up, Dead Right There"!!

I dont always agree with Neal, CWB, but I really do enjoy him--he is so bright and up-front and has a sense of humor that totally wipes out his critics.  I was delighted  when he got syndicated.
