Great picture! Can you dig the stogie hanging out of the cop's mouth. It reminds me of a true incident which occurred during the Viet Nam war. It seems there was a peace rally taking place outside the White House, and being a peace rally there was a guy holding a lit candle. A man with an unlit cigar in his mouth emerged from the White House gate and walked over to the man holding the candle, and suddenly grabbed the candle man's arm and held it firmly immobile. While continuing to hold the man's arm, he then used the candle to light his cigar. He then let go of the arm and looked into the candle man's eyes and said, "There. Now you've been useful."

I don't know who the Candle Man was, but the Cigar Man was G. Gordon Liddy.

And now you know the rest of the story.

G. Gordon Liddy is also the Candle Man--as in he stuck his hand into a candle's flame to demonstrate his fanaticism.
