What D has to look forward to if he chooses to be a local cop:

(seen in the police blotter in the local weekly)

3-13-09-3:35-Report of a pig loose on Rt---. Unable to locate. Notified local pig owner.

3-14-09 1:00 PM-Patrol observed two subjects at a yard sale take an item w/o paying for it. Investigation continues (MY comment; what, they stake out the garage sales here? Undercover detectives at garage sales, or what?)

3 :35- take report of a pig loose again on Rt---. Notified owner of Smoky Meadow Farms. "Snowball" was rounded up by its owner. FYI; Owner advised patrol "Snowball" is housebroken so the next caller can just keep it in their house."
