Po Po

Eli and were driving the other day and we saw a police car.
"Hey! Po Po!" Eli said,
I informed him that police officers were not to be called names, it is disrespectful.
--No I did not tell him of all the names we used to call officers when I was young--

"Sorry mom but whenever I see a 'police officer'" he said while making the quotation mark sign, "my mind just says 'Po Po'."

"Really," I countered, "whenever I see one all I can think is 'ohmygoshhowfastamigoing'."

Of course you didn't tell him what you used to call them. He can learn it from what you told MY KIDS!!

Whenever I stop at a yellow light he says, "You coulda made it."
I can see the insurance bill already--I better start saving!

Kelli, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I was doing a 'ride-along' with my bestest bud who is now almost ready to retire from Alameda P.D. in the Bay area of California; this was back in the early 90's when I was getting hired there. He said all of the scumbags called them 'Po-Po' because when they would do an arrest for some ambiguous offense, the guy would ask "Why are you hasslin' me?" and the reply was "Po-Po" and it meant that they had 'Pissed Off the Police Officer'.

Aahhhh, remember the Po-Po joke?!
When the Officer says, "Gee. Your eyes look red, have you been drinking?" You probably shouldn't respond with, "Gee Officer, your eyes look glazed, have you been eating doughnuts?"
