I realized this week that those guys in India sure know how to handle duty shirking. I mean, here’s the situation. A police vigilance squad raids a gambling den and arrests nine people, seizing cash and goods. So what do the police do? Instead of celebrating their successful crackdown, they turn around and suspend the police inspector in charge of the station in the area where gambling den was discovered. “Rathwa is in-charge of the area and it was his duty to keep an eye on such illegal activities,” said a police commissioner statement. “But, he failed to do so and hence he has been suspended.” Jeez, talk about talking tough. Remind me not to be a policeman in India in my next life.
So here is a couple to lighten the mood:
A tourist approaches a man in uniform and asks: ‘Sir, are you a policeman?’ The man answers: ‘No, I’m an undercover detective.’ ‘So why are you in uniform?’ asked the tourist. ‘It’s my day off,’ was the reply.
A policeman tries to stop a speeding car and the guy increases his speed until he is topping 100mph. Eventually he runs out of gas and pulls over. The policeman comes out the car and says to him: “It’s been a long day and my tour is almost over. If you can give me a good excuse for your behavior, I’ll let you go.”
“Well,” says the driver. “My wife ran away with a policeman last week, and I thought you might be him trying to give her back!”
