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.

Really Dad, would you care to explainQuite a few years ago, I was at Gatwick Airport with my Dad. I don't remember why and it isn't actually important. We were sitting down, maybe having some tea maybe we weren't again, not really important, when I mentioned that the Old Bill were carrying guns. I had never seen a copper carrying a gun and told my Dad so.
My Dad has a lot of opinions on a lot of things and it was on this subject that he chose to opine (it is, I looked it up) that coppers who carried guns were all little Hitlers, drunk on their own power. I started to laugh and he took that as a cue to continue on his rant with me laughing more and more.
The reason I was laughing was that there were two armed police men standing immediately behind him. When he eventually realised, to his credit he looked them straight in the face and said 'apart from you two'
I laughed, my Dad laughed, the coppers didn't.
