Dear comedian - An open letter

Dear comedian(I use that word loosely),

You may think you've got what it takes to win the next "Last comic standing," but trust me your jokes are neither original nor funny. Believe me when I tell you that if I had a nickel for every time I walked into a business or past someone on the sidewalk and heard "I didn't do it," I'd retire today. Apparently my dirty looks and insulting quips have done little to deter you from making such lame jokes.

This letter serves as a notice that such stupidity will no longer go unpunished. Just ask the woman who flagged me down today. I stopped my car, expecting to find a person in need. Instead, I got "This is her officer. She's the one you want." These ladies thought it was funny to waste my time. They didn't, however, think it funny when I took their "joke" as information regarding a possibly wanted person. I don't even remember a smile(aside from my own) when I took their identification and ran them through local and national databases for warrant checks. That's 15 minutes of their lives they'll never get back.

So Mr./Mrs. comedian, you have been warned.

Sincerely,

A cop and fan of REAL comedy
