I started a blog once called Pop-Tarts and Shoulder Holsters to relate the comical side of being a police officer. I lost track of it and generally decided with work, work, work and this blog, it was too much to try to do at once.
HOWEVER, I have decided to revive the idea on this blog and occasionally post some funny stories from police work.
For about 9 years, I worked as a Field Evidence Technician (Forensics) and dealt with all manner of… uh… stuff. Some of the stories will revolve around those experiences. Other stories will just be funny stuff that happens on the street in the normal course of doing cop business.
Couple of notes. I will never ever use real names. So don’t even look for it. I will never ever use actual photos from MY wonderful library, so don’t think there will be anything totally whacky and weird.
As time goes on, stories tend to be embellished and that may or may not be the case with these stories. Hard to tell sometimes. But they will be mostly accurate and true. The overall “theme” will be factual.
The title. Well, it just makes me smile. Because I love Pop-Tarts, carry a shoulder holster, and generally always have a Big Gulp with me in the car. And… why not. It’s unique.
There is already two stories on the blog HERE and HERE.
I am currently working on:
Dead Guy On the Couch
Is it 1… 2… 3… THEN GO? (H/T: Lethal Weapon)
The Octogenarian of Scream
He’s ALIVE!!!
What Are You Doing In My Bathroom?
and lastly, for now…
What snake?
So stay tuned. They are at least funny to me, though my wife tells me that you “must have cop humor” to laugh at that stuff. I’m still trying to define cop humor.
Oh… and just so you know… I have at least one giant spider story, a millions of spiders story and a spider in roll call story. This is important, because anyone that knows me, knows I am terrified of spiders. I would rather be looking down a barrel of a gun than deal with a spider. Spiders are the most ickiest of icky to me and I hate them. The anti-christ will manifest his/herself as a spider I am sure.
