Don't Bite The Hand That Feeds You

     In Coconut Creek, Florida, a police dog has been kicked off the force. Evidently it was not because they didn't need Renzo, that was the dogs name, but because of his behavior. They had to let him go because he had bitten two different people, neither one of them a lawbreaker, that we know of at this time.

The first human he bit was a fellow police office. I guess that was okay, as no disciplinary action was taken because of that. However, the second time he bit a person he really crossed the line. Why? He bit a Dunkin’ Donuts’ worker. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. They didn’t mind jeopardizing their relationship with fellow police officers, but they couldn’t jeopardize their relationship with their donut source. 

     

      I don’t know about you, but I don’t enjoy shopping. It is usually such a bore. The only exception to that is when I do the grocery shopping, am in control of the cart, and working off a specific list. I fly up and down the aisles, scattering other shoppers and store employees left and right.

   That’s why I can appreciate these folks. If you’re looking to rob a bank, why shop around. In Kandahar, Afghanistan, some folks were looking for a bank to rob. They came up with the idea, “Why shop around, when they had a ready-made bank that they were already familiar with. So why not?”

    So the staff of the bank robbed their own bank and took off. Where? Nobody seems to know. And they took 81 million Afghanis with them. The U.S. equivalent is 79 dollars. I’m just kidding, in U.S. dollars it amounts to $1.4 million. Not bad for not shopping around.

It’s nice when you find a judge that has such a high regard for the fine points of his job.

As reported for Reuters by Stephen Eisenhammer, a judge in Brazil is presiding over the trial of what was one of the wealthiest tycoons in the country. When he was arrested, police confiscated most of his property, including a collection of luxury vehicles. One of these was a Porsche.

A few days ago, the judge was seen driving this Porsche. When asked why, he responded, "The Federal Police did not have a safe place for the car and it was exposed to sun, rain and possible damage. As I want the car to be preserved in good condition, I took it to a covered parking space in the building where I live."

"I did not take it to use, just to look after it.” 

Like I said, how many judges would go out of their way to take care of a small detail like that?
