The PoliceSitting in my local pub late one night enjoying the landlord's flexible idea of what constitutes his licencing hours, a bunch of drunk blokes in raincoats burst in. Requesting to be served, one shouted at the barman "It's alright - we're not coppers!"
They were spitting images of Lt. Columbo to a man. The barman laughed them out of the pub.

CoppersMy brother and his girlfriend were driving with a friend in an XR3i, back in the days when this was both big and clever. He (just) ran a red light and a lying-in-wait police car, an unmarked carlton Cosworth, took after him.
Obviously he did the sensible thing... and put his foot down, where upon the Police car, now with all lights flashing, tore past him and forced him over.
The strangely happy looking policeman knocked on his window; we're talking throw the book, rip up license, hung drawn and quartered... here's what was exchanged:
"Good evening sir... what make of car do you drive?"
"err.... an XR3i sir...."
"And ...what make of car do I drive sir?"
"Err... a carlton cosworth....."
"So sir.... you thought you could outrace a carlton cosworth with your XR3i.....?"
"errr........"
"Well... you can't!"
Whereupon the police man, laughing like a loon, got in his car and drove away.
OK so it helped the guy was stone sober at 1am but still..
