Everyone in Az. and other parts of the East/West/North and South know that the   
   meanest sheriff west of the Pecos is Sheriff Joe. He is the darling of all the   
   PHOL (Purple Haired Old Ladies)including many of the no-hair old geezers. Be   
   all that as it may    
   we let our fingers hit the keyboard because anyone can benefit from advice   
   from the Flanier Political Pundit Advisor and One Stop Movie Rental Emporium   
   (FPPA & OSMRE).   
      
   Dear The Sheriff Joe    
      
   Congratulations on being the best criminal-catching organisation in    
   this county!  In terms of catching crimes, you'll always be number one    
   with me, never mind the few bad apples etc etc etc.    
      
   Here's a tip: Give it a rest with your TV ads trumpeting every time you    
   catch "Maricopa's Worst Pedophile","Maricopa's Worst Mass Murderer".or    
   "Maricopa's Most Behinders Dead Beat Dad".    
      
   To be perfectly honest, we're only really interested if you catch the    
   really good ones.    
      
   Anyone can catch the county's worst mass murderer: He's the one in the    
   blood-stained T-shirt, handing out leaflets outside Wal-Marts saying    
   "I've got grannies buried in my back garden". It hardly takes Sherlock    
   Holmes to drag him in, pull his bungalow apart and push him down the    
   stairs at the cop shop a few times until he confesses.    
      
   What you want to be looking out for are people who DO NOT dress in    
   blood-stained T-shirts, handing out leaflets advertising guided tours    
   of their top ten shallow graves. They're the ones with something to    
   hide, and you want to be keeping an eye on them, possibly through a    
   network of Wi-Fi cameras, relentless internet traffic monitoring, and    
   a red light that blinks in a control room every time somebody buys a    
   shovel and/or seveal bags of ready mix from Home Depot.    
      
   Hope this helps.    
      
   Be lucky.    
      
   Your pal,    
   B. Flanier, Col, 45th Flying Squad.  HSD, PDQ, RFD (Ret)
