It is by caffeine alone that I set my mind in motion. It is by the juice of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Women and the police...HAHAHAHA. You know the scarriest officer I've ever had to deal with was a woman!? She was a short thing, but there was NO WAY I was going to be messing with her.
A camp counselor told me once, "Tomorrow is never promised".
I have all kinds of little sayings that pop up in my head from time to time, but that one has always stuck a little mroe.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded- here and there, now and then- are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty. This is known as "bad luck." - Robert Heinlein

The funniest / dumbest quote I ever heard that actually is a good lesson to live by (proverbially):
"Remember, it's not how hard you're beating the goat, but whether or not the goat you are beating is on fire."
-Adolphus, medieval sage
. . . and my email tagline.
In other words make sure the goat is on fire before you start beating it. :D

I assume full responsibility for my action, exect the ones that are someone's else's fault.
I no longer need to punish, deceive, or compromise myself.
Unless, of course, I want to stay employed.
I am grateful that I am not as judgmental as all those censorious, self-righteous people around me.

Advice given to hundreds of rookie cops over 29 years...
Don't eat blue food.
There is a gun at every call...Your's.
Police work is 20 years of Vaudeville, and a pension.
Only three kinds of strangers look you in the eye...Cops, queers and criminals.
Always be ready to explain yourself, and never, ever offer an excuse.
Always tell the truth, just don't always tell it.
The only people out in the dark, in the rain, in the snow, or, in the cold, are the people who have to be. Your job is to know why.
Nothing, ever, is free to cops. People always want something in return, even if it's a smile.

"Don't crap where you eat & don't eat where you crap".
Was one of many odd but funny sayings a longtime friends' mother had pasted up around the house back when I was a late teen.
It should also be noted she used the "s" word in her version as well ... but I cleaned it up.

You never seem to have time to do it right, but you always seem to have time to do it over.
