That's not the first time this week that I've seen Niceville, FL show up in the news. Wasn't the other time in one of your publications too?

Could have been. There was an entry here in March, but nothing in recent weeks in "This is True". -rc

Yep, what we have here is the entitlement generation.

Jim in southwest Illannoy: You probably read the article below in the FloriDUH weblog (link below). I follow it as well... http://weblogs.sun-sentinel.com/news/specials/weirdflorida/blog/2010/07/gotcha_teen_throws_beer_can_ou_1.html

I'm particularly amused by the fact that one of her horns appears to have been broken off in the crash.

I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this. How much of an idiot do you have to be not to understand that distracting the driver of the car you and your child are riding in is Not A Good Idea™?

Too bad she's already reproduced. One can only hope that the kid did not inherit the Stupidity gene.

Of course, I will never have to go. -rc

I'm not a cop, but I've heard that same threat in my line of work. Simple enough response: If my job can be had THAT easily by you, then it's not worth keeping in the first place.

Mike from Dallas: LOL. I'm not a cop either, but when I first re-entered the working force (after my children were all in school) as a receptionist for a small software company that was having financial difficulties, the owner of the company was dodging one of our creditors. The creditor would call and scream at me because the owner wouldn't be available. After a week of this daily abuse, I finally told the man that being the Receptionist of the company, I wasn't paid enough to sit there and be yelled at! He apologized (I think he was highly embarrassed after being called on his behavior) and even sent me a small flower arrangement as a token of his esteem. He was always pleasant afterwards and would even joke with me when he would call. AND he eventually got paid as well! LOL

The city fathers changed the name to Niceville several years ago so as to attract tourists, promoting a nice, quiet, serene city in the Pan Handle.

I think they'll do a better job today, especially with citizens like this, if they change it back to it's outstanding original: Boggy Bayou.

Doesn't that just give you a warm, fuzzy, southern hospitality feeling while dodging the crazies?

Boggy Bayou? I like it! I looked it up to confirm you were serious, and it's true. Better: Niceville still hosts the annual Boggy Bayou Mullet Festival. (Yes, really!) I wouldn't be surprised to hear that Courtnea Bradley was the Mullet Princess last year, either. -rc

Some people can be so obtuse in their behavior toward others that when it comes back to them, they are usually surprised when what they did comes back to haunt them. The case of the cop who found surgical tape on his privates after surgery in another entry in the archive is a perfect example of such.
