Jeremy and I went to the Police Museum on Friday. It was surprisingly awesome. On the second floor, they had a video display that explained various aspects of police work. If you’re considering being a cop, I have to recommend the vice squad. One great part is you get to sit in this van equipped with periscopes and fancy audio equipment. So you’re sitting there, parked on the curb in your unmarked van (coffee? danish?) and you can hear and see EVERYTHING that every passerby says. I wouldn’t mind doing that. The the next best thing is being an artist who draws mug shots and whatnot because you get to tamper with corpse’s faces in Photoshop. Otherwise, being a detective or hostage negotiator seems pretty stressful, not to mention the other lame stuff. Of course there was that expose in the NY Post about how much overtime cops make on top of their six figure salaries. But I wouldn’t want to start at the bottom if I went with this career. Therefore I’m thinking that if I could solve some high profile mystery, maybe I could start directly as a six-figure dective. Any suggestions?

The first NY cops only had these noise-makers as weapons.
The first lady cops were issued this bag that was a gun holder/make up case.
This is the actual makeup!
Not only did you get the makeup gun case, but you also had to wear high heels and had to wear mini skirts! You’d think that these type of shenanigans would not bode well with the type of woman who would be drawn to the police force. But there were photos of the women at their annual talent show dressed up as show girls, so go figure.
Got yelled at for taking this picture. Jeez.
Dan’s horrible rage.
Beautiful NY art.
I thought this was clever at the time.
Plus: Tomorrow’s kitsch today! And what does “We’re working hard to put food on (italics mine) your family” mean?
Hey everybody, “Lacklustre” is fat and runs like a girl. And since you’re reading the NYT by this point, check out this.
