    Do you mean "alot" instead of "a lot"? And "awhile" instead of "a while"? Was the perp caught in the act?

    It must really be an irritant to you, as you can't even misspell it on purpose.

      I think we all know how this ends once Officer Randall has transported the suspect to his specially-outfitted detention center in his basement (cough, cough) . . .

    It's OK as long as she doesn't violate the penile code.

      Those are the ins and outs of a job like mine, and the proper level of restraint is at my discretion depending on her willingness to cooperate or lack thereof. I might really have to put it to her, you know, lay down the law. All within the bounds of legality, of course; I know that dispensing discipline can be a hard thing to do, butt it has to be done. If she is open to reform, things might go quite smoothly for her, and her release can be secured, there is alway the possibility that it may take much more effort than first anticipated to achieve her compliance. She’s a slippery one, I know that much. Not to worry, if one approach doesn’t work, I can always try different angles.

      Oh.  I guess I missed that chapter in the training manual. I thought I was supposed to keep going until I reached satisfaction.

    Just allot them lots and lots of allotments of lots.
    With luck, they might get the message.

    It looks like you're not just sharp on grammar
    but have an ear for the sounds in how people speak. :)
