People sleep peacefully in their beds at night because rough men stand ready...

...to confiscate plastic straws from restaurants: "D.C. Pays ‘Plastic Straw Cop’ $60,000 Salary to Enforce City’s Straw Ban".



"That's right, Chief; me and the Straw Squad just busted a warehouse full of 'em. And they were all the bendy type! Don't worry, sir; nobody's gonna suck on my watch!"

That one took me a while Gregory, although that movie's been on TV a lot. I'm like Elaine in the Seinfeld episode where she can't understand New Yorker cartoons.

Over sixty thousand to look for those dreaded plastic straws!?! That's some job! Wonder what the job application process was? What kind of "experience" would be applicable?

Now there is a push against plastic cups. Somewhere, companies must charge $.25 per cup. Wait. Isn't the price of the cup included in the price of the drink?

So what you're saying is, Bruce, you were taken by the Taken reference?

So he's not a police officer, he's something that's not a police officer.

He is something that could be dangled by his ass over an intersection for the amusement of righties and leftys alike.

Wonder if he carries show "throw down" plastic straws to plant at businesses which fail to "reward" him for his service?

There's nothing worse than a dirty straw-cop.

Does he have a badge? What kind of ID does this strawper carry?
