Hold on Officer! Can’t you see I’m on my phone?

May 15th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

My student told the class this story a day or so ago.

I was tagging on with my partner one day, out patrolling and we came across a person driving very recklessly. Talking on her cell phone, speeding 20mph over, switching lanes with no blinker and passing on the right. So we stopped her. We go up to the car and do the normal license, registration and proof of insurance thing and she is still on her cell phone. She held up her finger and said hold on. Like really? Anyways after about 15 seconds I said “Ma’am please put down the phone and give me your license, registration and proof of insurance.” She took her phone away from her ear and started yelling “Can’t you see I’m on the phone?” (keep in mind she was very calm and just having a regular conversation because I overheard her say she made pot roast for dinner and ran out to get cigarettes) So I go to pull out my pad and click my pen and she all of sudden hangs up and says “Is something wrong officer?”

When it rains it pours, I guess.

The things that have been falling out of the sky in China lately…

3. Water bottles – A thief wanting to steal bottles of mineral water tossed them out the window of a storehouse in Harbin. Had it been winter, they would have been bottles of ice.drunk%20thief.jpg

4. Drunks – Yup, the thief, drunk as skunk followed the bottles of water out the window. He jumped, got stuck head first in the bottles and stayed there asleep until security came.

Have you looked up lately when walking outside?

Why People Don’t Go To Church

May 8th, 2008 Posted in Uncategorized | no comment »

Here’s yet another reason why people don’t go to church.

A Catholic Priest was caught having sex with female inmates, two of them, while working as a chaplain at a women’s prison.

So much for vows of chastity, eh?

He’s in jail now, for up to 10 years, but more like 10-16 months.

One of the inmates became involved with the priest after joining the choir and Bible study classes.

The other was working as a clerk for the prison’s religious services department.

This priest apparently didn’t even mess around with lust. He just headed straight for the fornication, and the betrayal of trust and….
