MY FAVORITE QUOTE...
"What the hell did you think the gun was for, huh? Show-and-tell? Look, you'll get over it - all right, they'll
send you to BSS, you'll do all that Buddhist "I love and revere all sentient beings" crap; then at o'dark-thirty, next time
you're up, you will drag your weary, fried ass out of bed, you will put on your gun and your vest, and you will do it all
over again. You know why? Because this is a front row seat to the greatest show on earth. Can you abuse it? Yes, sir - you
can, and you will; I guarantee it. Because it is relentless, and it gets to you, and it seems like it changes nothing. But
a day like today, with some interesting capers, and a few good arrests? That's good. But every once in a while, you get to
take a bad guy off the streets for good... and that, my friend, is God's work. So now you wanna be a pussy and quit, you quit.
You're a cop because you don't know how not to be one. If you feel that way, you're a cop. If you don't, you're not - you
decide." -Officer Cooper - FTO "Southland"

ONCE UPON A TIME... there
was a non-conforming sparrow who decided not to fly south for the winter. However, soon the weather turned so cold that he
reluctantly started southward. In a short time, ice began to form on his wings and he fell to earth in a barnyard, almost
frozen. A cow passed by and crapped on the little sparrow. The sparrow thought it was the end. But then the manure warmed
him and defrosted his wings. Warm and happy, able to breathe, he started to sing. Just then a large cat came by and hearing
the chirping, investigated the sounds. The cat cleared away the manure, found the chirping sparrow and promptly ate him.
THE MORAL OF THE STORY
1. Everyone who shits on you is not necessarily
your enemy.
2. Everyone who gets you out of shit is not necessarily your friend.
3.
And, if you're warm and happy in a pile of shit, keep your mouth shut!
