A Cop Can Chase The Bad Guys, Good

Friday, August 15th, 2008

Unless he runs into another cop, chasing the bad guys, bad.

Sometimes, cops [...]

A Gassy Cop - Will He Survive?

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

We’re talking gas, all right, but not the kind you put in your car. Or…?  Come on, go ahead and read, it’s just a fact of life.
