How to hurt a cop's feelings

Apparently all you need to do is ask the cop if he's a jelly belly.

Now, I'm not too sure what would happen to you if you did this, so please be careful whom you say this too. Particularly if you are in Winter Haven, Florida. It seems that those cops are real big softies, in every sense of the term.

It seems that the police chief sent out a memo asking the officers if they were jelly bellies. In the outline he outlined why it might not be a good idea for a police officer to be overweight. You know, the obvious reasons like chasing down suspects. Though I don't think me mentioned anything about being stuck in a car, though some of the people I've seen around here certainly appear to be firmly situated behind the wheel. Which makes me wonder what happens when the airbag goes off?

Anyway, the point of this post is that apparently the chief was forced to resign. Why? Because some of the officers took offence! Seriously people, if you are offended by someone mentioning that you are overweight, and that it may be dangerous to your health, you now have TWO serious problems. I realize that it can't be easy to be overweight but when someone points it out to you in terms of being able to do your job properly maybe you should suck it up and take it as a wake-up call, it's for your own good. Though I still don't think this is as bad as the woman who tried to sue her doctor because he told her she was too fat.
