Sexy Police Officer

Police in the West Midlands, United Kingdom have been told not to wear brightly-coloured pants or visible thongs in a lesson in fashion which has caused anger amongst officers.

Police are being told to wear underwear of “an appropriate colour to be inconspicuous underneath uniform”.

It provoked a furious outburst from several officers who questioned why their bosses are getting their knickers in a twist.

One Woman Police Constable said: “If I wear a pink thong I’m ‘exposing myself’. If I wear sensible knickers I’m exposing a visible panty line. I’d be better off going commando and not wearing knickers.”

A constable added: “It is ridiculous. They are basically telling us what underwear to wear to work.

“A couple of sergeants have jokingly been saying there would be spot checks. It is outrageous.”

West Midlands Police said officers had to “adopt a common sense approach”.

Dachshund

A small dog who refused to return home until a neighbour followed her helped rescue her owner after he collapsed at home following heart surgery.

Charles Mitchell said he was working in his yard last week in the Oregon wine country town of Yamhill when Missy, an 11-year-old dachshund scampered up and refused to leave.

Mitchell told the dog to go home, but she refused, and when he decided to follow her across the street to investigate, he found his neighbor, Charlie Burdon, had collapsed inside his home.

The police chief arrived with paramedics, Burdon was taken to the hospital. Burdon suffered an attack of vertigo and is recovering.

But Burdon and Mitchell, who have known each other for years, both said Missy is their hero.

Wendy's Restaurant

You would think that if a robber is not satisfied with his loot, he would hope for a better haul next time, right?

Well, that was not the case with a robber in Altanta.

Police say a man who robbed a fast-food restaurant with a gun was so mad about the amount of loot that he called back twice to complain.

The man walked up to the drive-through window of an Atlanta Wendy’s late Saturday night, wearing a ski mask and holding a gun.

He demanded the cash drawer, grabbed it and ran away.

But police say he later called the fast food restaurant to complain about the amount of cash.

Police say in one call he said that “next time there better be more than $586.”

The robber called again with a similar complaint.
