DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE COP THAT RAN OVER HIMSELF?
A YOUNG POLICE OFFICER WENT TO THE CORNER STORE TO
BUY HIMSELF A PACK OF CIGARETTES. AFTER LEARNING THAT
THIS STORE DID NOT HAVE HIS BRAND, HE ASKED THE STORE
CLERK IF SHE COULD GO ACROSS THE STREET FOR HIM AND BUY
HIM HIS BRAND. "I'M TIRED," HE REPLIED.
SHE EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT SHE WAS THE ONLY ONE WORKING
AND SHE WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GO FOR HIM. THE POLICEMAN
ACCEPTED HER REFUSAL AND RAN OVER HIMSELF.
