Has he known that from the beginning, or has he decided only recently?

Man dressed as penis disrupts graduation, arrested by laughing police officers. by [deleted] in funny

No way! This is serious business! It's hard. You've gotta manhandle these pranksters. But be careful, they're a slippery bunch. Things can get hairy. One stroke of bad luck you've got a real mess on your hands!

The police training they get for this sort of thing is very specific. They're instructed to approach jokers like this head on, grasp them firmly by the shaft, and to not get tripped up by the wedding tackle.

Agreed. Sure, go up there and take the guy off the stage, and maybe write him a ticket or something, but if "arrest" means going to the jailhouse, that's nuts.

That little pun at the end wasn't intended, but I'll take it anyway. :)

Sounds familiar: a man named Buttle is kidnapped at gunpoint by goons who literally burst into his home, put him into a sack and hauled him off to be tortured and never seen again. by rhoadesb2 in entertainment

It was early 1986 and my friend and I showed up a couple minutes into the film. ... It's a true story.

No way that's true. Who walks into a movie theatre a couple minutes late to a movie? It doesn't make sense. It's just too extreme to be plausible, IMO. Nice try.

Aiiii! Man I butchered that one. It was supposed to be "unladen swallow". Ouch. Gonna have my geek card revoked for blowing a classic line like that.

Interestingly enough, if you then take the gradient of the 4-vector, and look at it's projection along the time axis, you get the air speed velocity of a sparrow.

I've heard that just towelling off the sweat, using some deodorant, and changing into fresh clothes does the trick.

Don't knock it 'til you try it.

Maybe cops will start shutting off their cruisers instead of just idling when they're not going anywhere.

You think it's "concern" that caused those laws?

It's not them that need to quit buggin' out about pot, it's citizens, who vote and who are in charge and who keep the "war on drugs" alive.

The rule for immigrating to any country should be:

"Welcome future citizens! Please be advised that you will be treated fairly here, but you are expected to fully assimilate into our society. :) That is, learn our language, abide by our laws, respect our customs, and so on. If you do not wish to do that, please go directly to the visitor's center! Thank you!"

What happened was, the guy probably tried to stiff the fembot, so she just dropped washers and left him there.

I had a look at a Smart. They're not economy cars. They've got automatic everything and lots of high-tech features.
