My Televisionistic Moment of Zen

Heard today on "Cops":
Police officer: "Sir, this is NOT your cat. You have to stop harassing those people."
Complete Idiot:"Is too my cat."
Police Officer: "How do you know it's your cat?"
Complete Idiot: "He meowed at me through the window."
Police Officer: "Uh huh."
Complete Idiot: "That's my cat! Here's his picture."
Police Officer: "Sir, the cat in this picture doesn't look like that cat. Its face is darker."
Complete Idiot: "Oh yeah? Well, how long have they had that cat? Coulda changed."
Police Officer: "Uh huh.... Sir, didn't you say your cat is a male?"
Complete Idiot: "Those folks what I got him from said he was a neuter."
Police Officer: "But before that... he was male?"
Complete Idiot: "He was a man cat, yes. "
Police Officer: "Sir, that other cat is a female. "
*silence*
Complete Idiot: "How long did they say they had that cat?"
Police Officer: "Not long enough to get it a sex change."
Complete Idiot: "But that's my cat!"
Police Officer: "Sir, it's not your cat. Go back to your trailer and leave folks alone."

I think he could have completely skipped the words "to your trailer" and we would have filled it in.

LMAO. I love COPS just to watch the idiots. Especially the toothless angry ones.

You just got your quota of "good karma" for at least one month, if not a full quarter (aka three months).

You made me laugh out loud, which ain't easy for a morose, determinedly dark personality type like me...

Man, it'd be cool to have Obi Wan Kenobi on those shows.

It just totally scares me that there are people in this world that are SO clueless!! I'm glad there are, though...who ELSE would we make fun of?

Outstanding ....now I have Irish Coffee in places it was never intended to go *grin*. And you are right, at the end, "Go back to your trailer" is rather redundant. I wonder how many times this event was the topic of discussion back at the station.

I (heart) Cops. I've seen that epi a few times.

No matter what's going on in my life, this show helps me realize I ain't got it THAT bad. :)
