1. Tragically perfect

[Kolesar]

2. The supreme stupidity is that my home town got an armored vehicle

And the deal said that Niles had to maintain it and return it to the Pentagon if demanded.

Meanwhile our people are getting ripped off by identity thieves and our dumb cops have no advice.

6. "Identity thieves? Er, um, hey, have you seen our armored vehicle? It will scare the bad guys so bad

they'll pee their pants. You know, if we ever get a chance to use it. Which we haven't yet. And probably won't. But, hey, it looks so cool. The cops in Warren are so jealous."

9. I've already suggested our cop shop get some pricey stuff...

...then sell it on E-Bay and use the cash to buy more Narcan and supplies for the Community Aides units, especially the stuff that removes graffiti from stucco.

Stuff's expensive, yanno?

helpfully,
Bright
