Subject: The Police

I read an article in "The (Baltimore) Sun" today and I couldn't stop laughing. Y'all recall the joke I wrote where the punch line had me speaking Spanish in Brazil.  ("Americans Wandering About")

For those not with our list at that time, 247 people wrote informing me that Spanish wasn't Brazil's native language.  ("Happy Anniversary")

According to this article, the Baltimore City Police have hired a liaison, a Mr. Joao R. Alencar, a native of Brazil, to work with the City's Hispanic community.

Lt Carmine R. Baratta Jr. said, "We need officers who have the cultural sensitivity and who also speak the language."

Uh...   do any of the 247 people who wrote want to tell the good Lieutenant there's a slight problem...   or should I ?

Columbia Maryland has found a rather unique way to solve its traffic problems. The other day, I was driving on the Little Patuxent Parkway and a policeman stopped me.

I asked what exactly I was doing wrong.

"Nothing at all." he replied. "I just wanted to see your reservation."

Police Chief to painter: "We'd like the interrogation room painted tattletale gray."

Range Office to Training Officer: "Better pull the jacket on Recruit Guido over there. Every time he finishes practicing with his firearm, he wipes off the fingerprints."

The meek lil' man approached an officer. "Sir, I've been here waiting for my wife for over an hour now. Would you mind very much ordering me to move on ?"
