…uh…what?

Today, a whole pile of randoms.  Enjoy.

“’I can’t catch a dui, but I can be one.’”

LuAnn, opining on what might be in my head when I mentioned wanting a wee taste of the whiskey after a nightmarish two hour on-line counseling session for my impending bankruptcy. I’ve run a bit dry on DUIs on patrol lately. This was her response.

“One way to lessen your expenses is to cut back on your dry cleaning.”

- and -

“Golf clubs should be purchased only after monthly necessities, such as rent and groceries, have been purchased.”

Advice from the two-hour, on-line counseling REQUIRED to file bankruptcy. With advice like this, hey, our economy will turn right around in no time.

***

“Do I have El Fucking Stupido written on my forehead?”

Said with a Spanish accent to a thoroughly white guy about exactly how stupid each thought the other might be.  I half expected to see a man in blue tights with a red cape and ‘El Fucking Stupido’ emblazoned across his chest appear from a puff smoke.

***

“They’re slickery sometimes.”

A local video store employee, after I found a handful of porn DVD jewel cases stolen from her store while investigating a separate crime. I asked her to come talk to me and she offered this bit of wisdom about how the porn DVDs come back to the store occasionally. Eeeww.

***

“Yeah, we shot it.”
“But it was already dead.”
“Yeah.”

An officer, after discovering a polka-dotted goat, quite dead, asking a kid about he and his friends’ paintballing of said goat. He never got a decent answer as to why. Perhaps it was an existential reason. The goat had once been, the paintballing was, and the mopes believed in a universal co-reality of the two.  Or maybe it was just fun to paintball a dead goat.

“Sonofabitchgoddamnitwhathefuckisthat…holycrapisthataused – ”

Me, upon reaching into a cupboard to retrieve stolen items and finding, instead, the suspect’s recently used condoms. I guess my question is, first, why would you keep used ones around and, second, if you were going to, why would you keep them in a cupboard?

    I think the goat shooting and the condoms both fall into the category of “it seemed like a good idea at the time.”

    True, your password is odd, but remember: never buy your golf clubs before paying rent. Follow this simple dictum and life will never be your enemy.

    Also, just want to point out, as a friend pointed out to me: the dead goat and the condoms are, criminologically speaking, related. hehehe, bet you wanna hear THAT story now, don’t you?
