The fill up

While filling my tank early this morning because the previous shift didn't, a security guard pulled up in a red Subaru complete with yellow magnetic bubble light and security magnets on the side. He hopped out and walked over to me and I noticed he was wearing a colonel's insignia on his ball cap.

I could feel the vein in my temple throb already.

"I'm just like you, except I got no powers of arrest."

I just stared at him, dumbfounded. The pump clicked off, I hung it up and closed the tank and looked at him again. He was still standing there. I got back into my car and drive away and as I looked in my rearview mirror, he was STILL standing there! You can't make this shit up people.

"I'm just like you, except I got no powers of arrest."

And no gun
And no education
And no IQ
And no concept of what I am here for
And no pension
And no guts

Yep, that about covers it. LOL!!

A Philly corrections officer (read: turnkey) came up to my partner and I a few years back and said, "Hey, brothers." When we looked at him cockeyed, he said, "Look, we're all brothers."

My partner said, "Uh-huh" and walked away.

haha. Nice. There was a kid in my paramedic class who was a security guard and he had the same attitude. It was painful to watch. We called him spongebob square badge.
