Good one! I can hear the wanna be CHP officer now: “My badge is bigger than your badge”.
A friend is a retired NYFD who spent months at ground zero. A few years before he was stationed at the harbor next to a police launch. It was right after the Abner Louima debacle. One day he stepped on the launch and was looking at a police jetski. A wise ass cop stepped out of the cabin of the launch and said to my fireman friend. “Whatta you lookin for...a plunger?”
