Thought you Texans might enjoy this....

Two Italian guys are driving through Texas when they get pulled over by a state trooper. The trooper walks up and taps on the window with his nightstick.

The driver rolls down the window, and the trooper smacks him in the head with the stick. The driver says, "Why'd you do that?

The trooper says, "You're in Texas, son. When I pull you over, you'll have your license ready."

Driver says, "I'm sorry, officer, I'm not from around here."

The trooper runs a check on the guy's license, and he's clean. He gives the guy his license back and walks around to the passenger side and taps on the window. The passenger rolls his window down, and the trooper smacks him with the nightstick.

The passenger says, "What'd you do that for?"

The cop says, "Just making your wishes come true." The passenger says, "Huh?"

The cop says, "I know that two miles down the road you're gonna say, 'I wish that guy would've tried that crap with me!

Skip was known to slap his patrol partners' upside the head if their first 'stop' in the morning wasn't for coffee and doughnuts.

http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif Priorities Bill http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif Gotta get them rookies broke in right are they'll have you chasin the guy delivering the morning paper http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

Messing with rookies was almost as fun as messing with the criminals, http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif and in some cases it was more fun.

Now that is funny. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif Sure sounds like some of them around here. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/glasses.gif

I would tell some of the new guys, these days, if they even thought of doing what we actually used to do they would be fired. Some of the old careers criminals even enjoyed helping us play jokes on the rookies

At 2:30am one morning in the dead of winter with snow on the ground I had a rookie meet me at a park pond and told him we needed a duck count. He came up with 32 so I sent him under the overpass and the count came up to 40. I then made him call the Sgt and tell the Sgt to meet him at a location for the duck count. The Sgt ended up not being to happy and the rookie sure wasn't happy http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif but the other squad cars rolled by as he was talking to the Sgt flashing their light and beeping their horns, just so the rookie would know they all knew. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/crying.gif It's tuff being a Rookie http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/wink.gif

Now that's funny. The joke, but more especially the duck count story http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/roll.gif http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/bows.gif

You should really hear about Skip's rookie days when his training officer had him out counting Pteradacyl's. http://www.bassboatcentral.com/smileys/Laugh.gif
