Oh, for the love of Mike, the friend called the police. Maybe, it's irrational, but I despise this "reaching out" figure of speech that is so recently popular.
In that case I won't reach out to you to discuss it :-)
If you ever watched NYPD Blue you’d know that the police “reach out” to people all the time. So I guess people “reach out” to the police.
BTW: When AT&T was advertising heavily for Long Distance, back in the seventies and eighties, people were reporting that virtually every sermon they heard concluded with an exhortation to “reach out and touch” other people, God, etc.
When I read your post I had to smile. So similar to my reaction, as posted at 23.
Reach out. Did they grab the cop by the arm? I am confused. LOL
You remind me of the 1984 summer Olympics in LA. The closing song for the opening ceremonies was “Reach Out and Touch Somebody’s Hand.”
