Good Cop, Dumb Cop... errr Bad Cop

O.K. One of my favorite lines from the movie "Full Metal Jacket" was when the Drill Instructor (R. Lee Ermey, who in my opinion deserved the Academy Award for his performance) told "Pyle" after finding his foot locker unlocked, ".... if it wasn't for #^*#* like you, there wouldn't be thieves in this world."

I just read a news story which relates the experience of a police officer who had his food messed with while going through a drive through while in uniform. Should a police officer be able to order food without having to worrry about it being messed with? absolutely! Would a prudent police officer order food from teenage fast food workers assuming that it wouldn't be messed with? Absolutely not!

I hope that the officer wins, it's a horrible thing to have your sandwich spit in. Should a police officer be able to order food without having to worry about spit or worse being put in his food? YES!! That being said, there's a distinct difference between wishful thinking and reality. The reality is that cops can't have a reasonable expectation of receiving uncontaminated food going through a drive thru.

It would be realy nice if you could keep up on your blog.

You are letting everyone down. You are a shameless individual.

Mom always said that you were no good.
