From beneath the toilet stall, Officer Wets could see his partner’s size 12 service boots lined up parallel to the crack addict’s filthy bare feet. Officer Wets tapped on the stall door.  “Are you sure you’re jamming it all the way up there?” he asked.

“Don’t tell me how to do my job,” came the reply, “I’ve been in law enforcement for twenty years and I goddam well know how to get a toilet plunger up a crack addict’s ass!”

What a grouch, thought Officer Wets.  The rest of the day would be spent in awkward silence.
