Joker: Handling ‘Em With Kid Gloves

Here’s a scenario for all (those) who think the police went overboard today -- Joker

Police officer 1: OPEN UP POLICE

Police officer 2: Do you have to yell so loud? What if he’s sleeping? He had a late night!

Police officer 1: You’re right. Should I ring the bell a few more times?

Police officer 2: Ok, but you know how grumpy people get when you interupt their naps.

Police officer 1: Don’t worry, he can sleep in the squad car. I brought an extra pillow.

Police officer 2: Did you bring the ones with goose feathers? I hope so. Wait, I have an idea, what if we leave a note to come in after he wakes up? (More below)

Police officer 1: Done. Do you have any Denny’s coupons we can leave with it? He might have a hangover and nothing cures a hangover like a breakfast skillet.

Police officer 2: What if he shoots some people? I mean he did fire on that house last night.

Police officer 1: Oh man, this is Idaho. Shooting at people’s houses is no big deal. It’s kind of like throwing toilet paper in their trees. We will come back later.

Police officer 2: Great. All that Denny’s talk made me hungry. Let’s go get some food.

Thoughts?
