Did You Know......

[Tater]

Over the past 2 weeks, I have learned a few things. (J/K, I've known them for years)

1. People who can't pay their bills and take care of their families, can come out here and spend 100.00 a night on beer.

2. The drunker that people are, the more they just have to talk to the Police.

3. It is our Constitutional duty as Law Enforcement Officers to allow them the use of the telephone before we take their drunk assses to jail. Oh, yes sir, it is in the Bill of Rights. (I'm still looking, can't seem to find it though).

4. The law says that I have to offer their drunk asses a ride to their cars. Oh, they get a ride alright, just not to their cars.

5. There are no stupid questions, but there is an overabundance of really stupid people that ask said questions.

6. If everyone who stated to me that they pay MY salary actually paid my salary, I could have retired years ago.

7. Almost everyone is my bosses best friend, or they at least know him.

It's been a wild 2 weeks, and there is still a week to go that promises to be just as bizarre. I can hardly wait til this thing is over. I am getting so educated (LOL), and I don't know how much more of this "knowledge" that I can handle. But don't let anyone ever fool ya. Some of the most beautiful women in the world are right here in Texas (this my friends is no joke). If I learn anything new this next week, I will let ya'll know.

Be careful out there and stay safe.

One of the guys I work with had a drunk come up and ask for a ride home outside a pub.

K gave the usual reply, "I'll give you a ride but it won't be home."

The drunk was adamant and ended up getting in the back seat of the police car.

K told him to get out, and the drunk wouldn't. He thought he was being funny to his mate's who were watching. No doubt he had told them all to watch him get the Police to drive him home.

K drove him to the City Watch House and it was about then the guy started saying, "I was only joking."

To which he got the standard reply, "I wasn't."

Just before he got out the car at the watch house, his phone rang. He was allowed to answer it and sure enough it was his friends from the pub to "congratulate him in the way he OWNED those dumb cops." He had to explain he was about to be taken into a cell and locked up. I think he was crying too! :D

I would add one thing to it:

Why do drunk people always want to shake my hand? Then they get pissed off if I refuse to shake that chain smoking, beer spillin, ball itchin, grimy, grub grabber. I might shake it if I have my gloves on, but that is still iffy.

What p.ss me off more than male drunks are female drunks. They allways want to dance with the officer who comes to the pub because it is to loud in the night, they want to hug the officer and sometimes they want more with the officer. No problem, but why only the drunken wifes with an face like Frankensteins monsters sister do so?:eek:

Same is for our female officers with drunken males "Oh no, not the officer, the young lady should search my body,haha, I'd like to get the cuffs from that young lady. Do you have them at home also for me!" and all that other **** they say to be funny in front of their friends. And we have not law that allows us the beat the **** out of them in front of their friends - just for having fun for ourselfs after that funny jokes they do with us.

Tater, you're so right with every thing you wrote. I have to spread ...blablabla. Owe you one!!!

This one cuts right through me....these are also those people who piss and moan because they can't pay their fines when you cite them for a traffic violation or public drunkenness :rolleyes:
