New Haven Randomness

There is nothing more random than the things witnessed in this KA-RAZY city I live in.. and since its been so long since I have updated the masses on all the madness I decided to do a smaller series of blogs with snip its until I get back to my usual monthly/weekly updates! Randomness #1

At the end of last year CT was in for some "big" storms...not Ron Jeremy BIG but big for us New Englanders. Now growing up in a shoreline town, like most of my co-workers, we are all able to swim, tread water or just come up with a valid reason as to why we would not go near water. So when a co-worker who we will call "Daisy"gets her hurricane assignment and it happens to be near the beach she looks in horror at the supervisor and legit asks if she can have a fucking life jacket? A life jacket?? I mean our cars are held together with duct tape, the lockers are all rusty and we don't have lights or sirens in some of our cars, but sure let me go and get you that all important "life jacket" out of the janitors closet that you can wear while driving around the city INSIDE YOUR PATROL CAR!? Yet "Daisy" was still surprised that New Haven would not be supplying a floatation device for her (she must not have read that small disclaimer that if your life is in danger, you can use any item in the car or even small children as floatation devices) She pleaded with the boss and then exclaimed that "It was DANGEROUS OUT THERE!" Cue my classmate "Pencil" who chimes in with... "Daisy, this whole fucking job is dangerous... we're the POLICE!!!" LOL!!! Daisy storms out feeling like she is putting her life on the line for strangers (DUHHHH!! Again we are the POLICE) and rushes into the rain to her vehicle as "Pencil" watches the tantrum from the safety of behind a window. Daisy throws her items inside the car before climbing into what is sure to be morphed into a submarine and slams the door...leaving the bright NEON YELLOW rain jacket hanging out the drivers side door as she drives off... Moral of the story if it sounds dumb in your head...your gonna sound like a fucking asshole out loud.
