What Pleased You Today!

[Harry P.]

Nine years ago today I held my last roll call.

You looked pretty sharp in uniform, G.

[Harry P.]

My wife and I had a great dinner for my birthday at my favorite Mexican restaurant...... Emiliano's here in Cranberry.  I got an email gift certificate for a free meal (entree).

Started out with their Holy Guacamole appetizer with warm chips... A pitcher of Margaritas... My main course was a spicy Vallarta Shrimp dish with yellow rice and some pico de gallo, cheese and sour cream... My wife had chicken and beef fajitas... For desert I had my favorite... Tres Leches Cake and my wife had Churros with ice cream...  YUMMMMM.   We're both pretty well stuffed and satisfied.

Once a Marine Harry, always a Marine. 

Thanks all.

That's just a big city police station.  We'd been shot at before. The sign out front still has a bullet hole in it.

  Wayne, It's one of those Jobs Someone Has To Do. Thanks for doin' it.

Coll pic, Agent G. I like that back up clip on your desk. Guess you never know when you will need it. 

Scott, our back ups, had back ups. I had two of everything in my locker. There was a time or two I went home wearing an entirely different uniform than what I'd worn to work.

Once a Marine, always a Marine. Boy did I learn that.  I was talking to my BIL who was in the Marines many years ago. He was on the Princeton CV37 I think it was. Anyway, my daughter had just started going out with this guy who had also been in the Marines. I made the mistake of saying to my BIL that my daughters boyfriend was an Ex Marine. Wow ! I thought he would bust a vessel ! I was then informed that......... Once a Marine, always a Marine !!  I got it !!!

[Agent G]

Even the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General James Amos expressed that opinion.  A few years ago, at his retirement, he didn’t just state that as his personal preference, he made it a policy.  

"No matter where you are or what you are doing", General Amos has said, "You're a Marine” – "Just in a different uniform and in a different phase of your life."  

Ouhh Rahh

   I saw this on another Forum I'm on and although I think I saw it long ago, it tickley my Funny Bone and made me smile then laugh out load.

 

Police officer pulls over a speeding car. The Officer says, " I clocked you at 80 mph. sir." 

The driver says, "Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar needs calibrating." 

Not looking up from her knitting the wife says sweetly, "Now don't be silly dear, you know that this car doesn't have cruise control." 

As the officer writes out the ticket, the driver looks over at his wife and growls, "Can't you keep your mouth shut for once?" 

The wife smiles demurely and says, "You should be thankful your radar detector went off when it did." 

As the officer makes out the second ticket for the illegal radar detector unit, the man glowers at his wife and says through clenched teeth, "Dammit, woman, can't you keep your mouth shut." 

The officer frowns and says, "And I notice that you're not wearing your set belt, sir. That's an automatic $75 fine." 

The driver says, "Yeah, well you see officer, I had it on, but took it off when you pulled me over so that I could get my license out of my back pocket." 

The wife says," Now dear you know very well that you didn't have your seat belt on. You never wear your seat belt when you're driving." 

And as the police officer is writing out the third ticket the driver turns to his wife and barks, "WHY DON'T YOU SHUT THE HELL UP??" 

The officer looks over at the woman and asks, "Does your husband always talk to you this way, Ma'am?" 

"Oh heavens no, officer. Only when he's been drinking."

     Glad you, Carl and Ray liked it. I think anyone that Retires from being a Cop has Stories like, and far and away weirder than that one. One of my favorites was back in the mid 70's a Lady called to report s Suspicous Vehicle - A Van with a pair of long hair men that seem to be checking out the neighborhood, that's parked for over an hour, on the wrong side of the street for the direction it was pointed. When the Cop that told my Dad about this arrived he realised it was a pair of Narcotics Officers and had to burn the stakeout to keep their cover. His final comment was Dam* Narc's followed by a smile.

I just had a good laugh Ray and Ed.  There every place here when it warms up......

Back in our old neighborhood, maybe 15 years ago. My wife had mentioned to me that there was a guy sitting in a beat up car down the end of our street one day. She said when she stared at him he got uncomfortable and drove off. Strange since this was a dead end street. She said it happened again the next day but a different guy in a different car.  So I said something to our neighbor Bobby, who was a state trooper. I didn't hear anything else until my wife told me there was a big commotion and a bunch of guys jumped out of cars and busted the kid across the street, big scene with a couple of people face down on the lawn.  Turns out they thought the kid was dealing drugs, so when a car drove up and talked to him they busted everyone.  Instead the clown was a buyer and the guy in the car was the dealer.  Still they got a bust.  

Then Bobby told us he had investigated our concern but had to keep quiet. He said the next day he snuck up behind the car and dragged the guy out by his ear, and onto the ground before he realized he was an undercover detective.

The whole story was that there was a county task force made up of cops from all the local towns. They got the nickname "The Jump Out Boys" because they'd stake out areas and scream up in cars and jump out to surprise the suspects.  They were using old cars they had confiscated as undercover cars.

Many moons ago I get picked for a task force assignment because of my experience in UC work and covert surveillance. At about 9-10 pm on a chilly spring night I'm sitting on the ground, behind a bush, in someone's front yard. I'm at the corner of the house by the gangway in case I need to move quickly. Well as time goes on I become more focused on the goings on across the street at my target location. It was a rather well known serial rapist case that made national headlines a few years later. 

Anyway, I begin to feel a "presence" nearby. Nothing but a feeling, but that feeling is I'm no longer alone. As that sinks in, I begin to hear heavy panting to my right. I turn and am now face to face with the homeowner's English Mastiff. MoFo had a nose the size of an orange, it looked especially large since he was just getting ready to lick my right ear. I slowly moved my hand and began petting the beast all the while talking softly to him. They are gentle creatures but very protective of what they perceive as "theirs".

Next thing I know a voice comes from a window behind me in the gangway. "It's ok officer, he heard you and just wanted to say hello". "He knew right away you were the police." 

That darn dog sat with me for the next hour. As we terminated the detail I spoke to the homeowner. He told me he always knew the target location was "trouble" but never had enough to support his suspicion. When the family realized a 200 lb white guy was sitting in their bushes, they were overjoyed the cops were trying. He told me the beast of a dog just knew I was a cop.

He saw me and his tail was wagging.

Busted by a Mastiff.

    Aside from the "Be Glad He was Cop Friendly". Just be glad he didn't coner you with Mastiff Drool "Shoestrings"!
