Burke! You may not play by the rules, but darn it, you get results! Why not take early retirement at full pension?! and boy is polyester slimming on you!
when cops dream
Aha… someplace I lived when I was growing up…for military brats, it’s hard to remember where you picked up which slang, but I’m thinking probably Madison, Wisconsin, where I went to high school….a long rectangular doughnut was called a “float.”
It was late enough in my upbringing that, as an adult, I still called it a float… until I realised nobody knew what I meant.
Other places it was called a longjohn… here in California it’s a bar.
I’ve been in WI my whole life. No matter what we call them they are all a part of the “donut” family. Ya know , cops = donuts.I have 2 kids, 2 nephews and 1 cousin that are cops and they ALL hate the reference! [:-) I tell them to just blow it off.

Longjohn and float, never heard of either names before for a pastry, learn something new everyday.
