Stolen from another site but worth the the theft co's it's so true ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is the world we live in now..........................if you are British that is Question: How do you tell the difference between a UK Police Officer, an Australian Police Officer and an American Police Officer? Answer: Pose the following situation: THE SCENARIO You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, and raises the knife and charges. You are carrying a Glock .40, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?' UK Police Officer's Answer: 1) Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! 2) Does the man look poor or oppressed? 3) Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire him to attack? 4) Could we run away? 5) Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? 6) What does the law say about this situation? 7) Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it? Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind of message does this send to society and to my children? 9) Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? 10) Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be content just to wound me? 11) If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? 12) Should I call 9-9-9? 13) Why is this street so deserted? 14) We need to raise taxes, have a paint-and-weed day and make this a happier, healthier street that would discourage such behaviour? 15) If I raise my gun and he turns and runs away; do I get blamed when he falls over running away, knocks his head and kills himself? 16) If I shoot him, and lose the court case, does he have the opportunity to sue me, cost me my job, my credibility and I will lose my family home? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Australian Officer's Answer: 1) BANG! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- American Officer's Answer: 1) BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! Click....(sounds of reloading) BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!!!!!!!!!!! Click.

OK OK I'm a little slow I've only just found this but . . . englishstiv I owe you BEER! Lots of beer.

Cheeks still wet from tears running down them Thank you Thank you Thank you If we meet on a Paso run (this year?) the first few beers are on me |

"I heard that in heaven, the police are English, the cooks are French, and the engineers are German; and in hell, the police are German, the cooks are English, and the engineers are French." You've forgotten to mention the bureaucrats and the lovers: In heaven the bureaucrats are Swiss and the lovers are Italian, of course in hell the bureaucrats are Italian and the lovers are Swiss. ![]() My apologies in advance. ![]() |

Actually englishstiv now that I think about it If the UK police officer is carrying a pistol he's breaking the law and will have to arrest himself. The standard British bobby is not permitted to carry firearms (yet)! Thank God. |
