State Police

St.Jude Parade Chicago May 2007

Friar Jp and Captain Peter Negro of District Chicago

Police in New Zealand were mystified by the apparent theft
of a complete toilet bowl from a police station in Auckland.
When a local news reporter asked the police sergeant if they
had any leads, he replied, "At present we have nothing to go
on.

Now This IS Drunk

A man goes to a party and has too much to drink. His friends plead with him to let them take him home.

He says NO -- he only lives a mile away.

About five blocks from party, the police pull him over. They check his
license and ask him to get out of the car and walk the line. Just as he
starts, the police radio blares out a notice of a robbery taking place in
a house around the block. The police tell the party animal to stay put,
they'll be right back and they run around the corner to the robbery.

The guy waits and waits and finally decides to drive home. When he gets there, he tells his wife he is going to bed, and to tell anyone who might come looking for him that he has the flu and has been in bed all day.

A few hours later the police knock on the door. The police ask if Mr.
Smith is there and the wife says yes. The police ask to see him and the wife replies that he is in bed with the flu and has been so all day.

The police still have his driver's license. The police ask to see his car
and the wife asks why. The police insist on seeing his car, so the wife
takes the police to the garage.

The wife opens the garage door; and there, sitting in the garage, is the police car, with all its lights still flashing.

True story, told by the driver at his first AA meeting.

SPRINGFIELD POLICE MEMORIAL

YOU'RE OLD AND DON'T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.

George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.
George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.
He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and he said "no". Then they said that all patrols were busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.
George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again
"Hello, I just called you a few seconds a go because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.
Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence and caught the burglars red-handed.
One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"
George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

(True Story)

One Fast Cop!

ABOUT 3 A. M. ONE VERY COLD MORNING IN MARCH 2004, TROOPER BORMAN OF THE
KANSAS HIGHWAY PATROL RESPONDED TO A CALL: THERE WAS A CAR OFF THE
SHOULDER OF THE ROAD ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF WINFIELD,KANSAS . HE LOCATED
THE CAR, STUCK IN DEEP SNOW AND WITH THE ENGINE STILL RUNNING.
PULLING IN BEHIND THE CAR WITH HIS EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON, THE TROOPER
WALKED TO THE DRIVER'S DOOR TO FIND AN OLDER MAN PASSED OUT BEHIND THE
WHEEL WITH A NEARLY EMPTY VODKA BOTTLE ON THE SEAT BESIDE HIM.
THE DRIVER CAME AWAKE WHEN THE OFFICER TAPPED ON THE WINDOW. SEEING THE
ROTATING LIGHTS IN HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR AND THE STATE TROOPER STANDING
NEXT TO HIS CAR, THE MAN PANICKED, JERKED THE GEARSHIFT INTO "DRIVE" AND
HIT THE GAS. THE CAR'S SPEEDOMETER WAS SHOWING 20-30-40 AND THEN 50 MPH,
BUT IT WAS STILL STUCK IN THE SNOW, WHEELS SPINNING.
THE TROOPER , HAVING A SENSE OF HUMOR, BEGAN RUNNING IN PLACE NEXT TO
THE SPEEDING, BUT STILL STATIONARY, CAR. THE DRIVER WAS TOTALLY FREAKED THINKING THE OFFICER WAS ACTUALLY KEEPING UP WITH HIM.
THIS GOES ON FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS WHEN TROOPER BORMAN
YELLED AT THE MAN ORDERING HIM TO "PULL OVER!" THE MAN OBEYED, TURNED
HIS WHEEL AND STOPPED THE ENGINE NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE MAN FROM WINFIELD WAS ARRESTED
AND IS PROBABLY STILL SHAKING HIS HEAD OVER THE STATE TROOPER WHO
COULD RUN 50 MILES PER HOUR.
WHO SAYS TROOPERS DON'T HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR?

Who says cops don't have a sense of humor?

The following were taken off of actual police car videos around the country... "Relax, the handcuffs are tight because they're new. They'll
stretch out after you wear them awhile." "Take your hands off the car, and I'll make your birth certificate a worthless document."
"If you run, you'll only go to jail tired." "Can you run faster than 1,200 feet per second? In case you didn't
know, that is the average speed of a 9mm bullet fired from my gun." "So you don't know how fast you were going. I guess that means
I can write anything I want on the ticket, huh?" "Yes, Sir, you can talk to the shift supervisor, but I don't think it
will help. Oh ... did I mention that I am the shift supervisor?" "Warning! You want a warning? O.K., I'm warning you not to do
that again or I'll give you another ticket." "The answer to this last question will determine whether you are
drunk or not. Was Mickey Mouse a cat or a dog?" "Fair? You want me to be fair? Listen, fair is a place where you
go to ride on rides, eat cotton candy, and step in monkey crap." "Yeah, we have a quota. Two more tickets and my wife gets a
toaster oven." "In God we trust, all others we run through NCIC." "Just how big were those two beers?"
'No sir we don't have quotas anymore. We used to have quotas, but now we're allowed to write as many tickets as we want."
"I'm glad to hear the Chief of Police is a good personal friend of yours. At least you know someone who can post your bail."
and the best one . . . . .
"You didn't think we give pretty women tickets? You're right, we don't. Sign here."

carefully. now, they are so blatant you will be kicking yourself if you miss the clue !!!

Question 3
Old Mr. Tidy was found dead in his study by Mr. Fiend. Mr. Fiend recounted his dismal discovery to the police. "I was walking by Mr. Tidy`s house when I thought I would just pop in for a visit. I noticed his study light was on and I decided to peek in from the outside to see if he was in there. There was frost on the window, so I had to wipe it away to see inside.
That is when I saw his body. So I kicked in the front door to confirm my suspicions of foul play. I called the police immediately afterward." The officer immediately arrested Mr. Fiend for the murder of Mr. Tidy. How did he know Mr. Fiend was lying?

Question 4
If you touch me, you will die, but you can only live without me. I am a big part of your life, and will eventually be the only thing left. You will learn to embrace me finally and rest. What am I?

Try to solve these Mysteries before looking at the answers below.

ANSWERS:

1. It was the Maid. She said she was getting the mail. There is no mail on Sunday!

2. He shot his reflection in the bathroom mirror.

4. Death

A senior citizen in Florida bought a brand new Corvette convertible. He took off down the road, flooring it to 80 mph and enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left on his head. "This is great," he thought as he roared down I-75. He pushed the pedal to the metal even more. Then he looked in his rear view mirror and saw a highway patrol trooper behind him, blue lights flashing and siren blaring. "I can get away from him with no problem" thought the man and he tromped it some more and flew down the road at over 100 mph. Then 110, 120 mph. Then he thought," What am I doing? I'm too old for this kind of thing." He pulled over to the side of the road and waited for the trooper to catch up with him The trooper pulled in behind the Corvette and walked up to the man. "Sir," he said, looking at his watch. "My shift ends in 30 minutes and today is Friday If you can give me a reason why you were speeding that I've never heard before, I'll let you go." The man looked at the trooper and said, "Years ago my wife ran off with a Florida State Trooper, and I thought you were bringing her back." "Have a good day, Sir," said the Trooper.
