       there  just  a  few,  but  there  are  a                  gentlemen, here’s the kicker: a pla-
       lot  for  a  summer  friendly,  as  they                  toon  of  police  immediately  shows

       would be to write a manual.                               even give a few blows, they are well
       The  chaos  created  makes  a  mess,                      armed, but after the fury they really
