Credit where it's due

Well the vehicle loving part of me carries over to work, and after 4 years on the job, I got myself a new cruiser last month. Anyway, I'm known for keeping the cleanest car on the dept...detailed tires as well most of the time.

Today after typing a report I rush out to take a theft report. I'm standing on the lady's porch while she points out a neighbor's house. I happen to look at the front of the cruiser and see a chrome Pontiac grille sitting over the usual black F*rd grille. So I take a closer look a few minutes later, and there is a Pontiac grille held on with scotch tape.

I get back to the station and the bosses are mumbling something about my car number. So I go in and the Lieutenant(who I never would've picked for ribbing me) says he thought I would've found it sooner.

Oh well, at least it was a little upgrade.

Another guy on my shift who I've worked on shift with before and is kind of known as the gadget guy due to having every little new technical device was sitting on a downed wire yesterday morning. Well the forestry department shows up and for whatever reason Matt got into the cherry picker and our one investigator took a photo...

Later in the day we get a call of a 1-1&1/2 ft snake at one of the parks in town. The animal warden was heading that way, but Matt decides to go down there too. I pull up a few minutes later just to see this snake, and I find Matt standing over about a 1 foot long snake as thick as your pinky finger holding the shotgun in his right hand. I say something like, "and what did you plan on doing with that?"

anyway, long story short...the cherry picker picture ends up on the locker room mirror where all jokes are posted or photos for the caption contest. The first caption of course is, "Lift me higher I see a snake"
