Your 'donut shop' quip was so original and
amusing, too.


You need to lighten up, James. The thought of a bald man described as
having grey hair is indeed funny, regardless of the real intent of the
description. There is no criticism of anybody in that. As for the comment
about the donut shop, Dwayne (the person who posted the "grey hair"
message
you replied to with the above) didn't say that - someone else did. And,
around here, because cops still do tend to hang out at donut shops on the
night shift, those jokes still have some humor left. While local cops may
be
slightly irritated by those jokes (because there may be some truth in
them),
I haven't met one yet that is truly that offended.

Our local cops take a real ribbing on various things... donut shop, etc. IF
you're not using it to insinuate something, they could care less and roll
right along with you on the jokes. They too are human and like to poke fun.
They get their job done and they do it well. There are a few who don't like
them, but gee, can you guess who the crowd consists of? Those who've been
busted.
