		<description>Regarding the written rules, the first one i totally misread at first.  I swear, I thought it said &quot;bloggers&quot; at first read, not &quot;boogers.&quot;  As for the third one about sips of beer, fine.  How many gulps can i take?  ;-)

Oh, and for us, the unwritten rule about making a new pot of coffee wasn&#039;t unwritten.  It was considered written.  But then, that was back in the ages when we brewed some NASTY coffee.  Others called it mud, oil, or motor oil, but we called what they drank children&#039;s coffee.  If I could see through it, it wasn&#039;t strong enough.</description>

		<description>&quot;It is illegal to take more than three sips of beer at a time while standing. (Texas)&quot;

Oh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I&#039;m a CRIMINAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  How did a nice Sunday school teacher like me turn into a CRIMINAL?!?!?!

I really want to say something about the ability to go topless in NY without having to worry about anyone flirting with you, but the truth of the matter is, I&#039;d rather flirt than go topless...so NY is probably not the state for me...

And YIKE!  on the policeman guy!!!!!!!!!!!  :-(  :-(  :-(</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Speedcat!&lt;/strong&gt; I haven&#039;t had any bad encounters with the police (embarrassing maybe but nothing rude or controlling) but I have heard of other&#039;s bad experiences. 

I think that the job itself must harden them and an officer may not use their power to control but they may end up becoming insensitive. For example, one friend was walking along a residential street. He spotted this roll of money. Just this roll (maybe the width of a ..cigar) held together with rubberband. He looked around. No one. He wasn&#039;t sure how much money it was since it was all the way on the ground but it was still this ... roll so he did what anyone else would do - he picked it up and just in case, quickly stuffed it in his pocket so he could look at it later. 

He didn&#039;t want to be seen with some wad of money in the street! He said as he put it in his pocket he could feel that there was something inside the roll, something hard. He then wonder if it might be some type of drug money and before he even got the chance to get worried, he was slammed face down to the ground with his arms yanked behind him.

Turned out that the cops had set up a some type of sting. He was very shaken by the event - it was a bit traumatic. Yes it was the police and it was for a reason but really, he was attacked! 

He not only was shaken and upset but he was also very angry. He said that after they figured out he was innocent he didn&#039;t receive any apology.  My friend is your typical law-abiding, tax paying good citizen. He was very upset by being not only mistaken for a criminal but treated like one. 

You do math like I do math.

I&#039;m sorry you had a bad cop experience.</description>

		<description>New York and Texas, what da .....

As with any position of power, there are some doing a fine job, and others that pursued this exact position to &quot;control&quot;.  A domineering persona will strive to create an unbalanced field of play. I have heard countless stories of police using authority in an unethical manner. It has happened to me personally in life. This phenomenon is really a detriment to the fine and outstanding  95% of the &quot;real profesionals&quot; that put their life on the line daily.

&lt;i&gt;How did I come up with 95%?&lt;/i&gt;

a2+(good cop - bad cop)*integer c 
_____________________________  = 95%
100 / value x=a2+1 (random value y)

How doo, MsQ?
