10 things about our boys in blue
1. If you got robbed, and lodge a report, they will tell you, "Ah...these things now very common so must be more careful ya? Must watch out for yourself, lots of criminals around these days"
2. Favourite activities include watching out for motorcyclists, people who don't wear seat belts, people with poor memories of their roadtax, people who look like they just came back from partying.
3. The love for blocking major highways 'just after a long bend' or 'right after a uphill' remains consistent; causing an unforeseen jamming of brakes or untold fender benders.
4. Guns are not used very much. So when an opportunity to use them comes to play, 'Shoot first, ask questions later!'
5. "Eh you people illegal gathering ah? What you doing here? Drugs? Pirate DVD? Pron?
6. They will always be a 'friend'. "Hmm....so how would you wanna settle ah? We can be friends right? You help me, I help you ah......" (with a smile ear to ear)
7. Flashing blue lights are great ways to beat the traffic! "Whoa! Look at the people stopping at the side to give us way. Quick need to go toilet eh!"
8. Stress levels can reach stratospheric levels in the department from all the mind numbing boredom. Releasing stress through physical means is much obliged on any new visitor behind bars. Usually happens before any form of interrogation or opportunity to speak.
9. Checking out couples making out in cars & parks, and interrogating them is a great way to pass the time on lovely evenings.
10.Nappy time. Always welcomed.

I'll poke em out!
Why would someone wear glasses without lenses? Something like this:
The many wonders of human diversity really give a kick to the soft parts of head sometimes. Glasses were once considered a burden, a sign of handicap, a big arrow pointing down at you telling the world that you can be pummeled to the ground easily once your second pair of eyes were removed. No doubt that glasses have transformed from nerd-wear to hip-wear within the last decade, but it should not validate the reasons to wear them when lenses aren't even installed! What's the point?
People would argue it being a fashion statement; like this reply to a question found on answerbag.com:
Question: Why do people wear glasses with NO perscription lenses in them? Are you one of those people, what are your thoughts on this please?

Answer: Well.. I Am Not One Of These People But I Suppose Glasses Can Be Very Fashionable Especially The Designer Glasses. So That Could Be Why Also They May Make People Look More Intelligent Or Someone Could Just Maybe Want To Wear Them.
(end of excerpt)
No my friend they do NOT make you look more intelligent. Someone with gray matter working at least 2% of the time would not want to wear glasses that allow blokes to deliberately poke two fingers into your retinas. Glasses by far do have the tendency to invoke auras of smartness and class, or on the flipside if badly fitted or designed, make you look like that nerd back in school that got kicked in the nuts everytime he tried to say cupcake. It has two sides to the story but once it comes without any lenses; it fails to qualify being a set of 'glasses', turning it to 'tard material.
So please, for you people with a perfect 20/20 vision, if you want to wear glasses just to look hip, please choose those with non-powered lenses. The people who need to wear contacts or REAL prescription glasses all their lives would not sneer at you funny anymore. Promise.
It's like parking a handicap at yourself when you don't have one. It could also be on the same lines as buying a wheelchair just to cruise around in it - just cause the cool kids say being in wheelchairs looks cool at the moment. lolwtf?
