  1. “Mr potter come with me” Mrs McGonagall is the head mistress of this new Harry Potter series set in the American West.

  2. The Fashion Police are always on the look-out for those “Illegally wearing floods with out a permit”

  3. “Give a woman the 2nd Amendment and then she thinks she deserves the right to vote.”
    ~from the book “Suffragettes Demand Action” by Coris Line

  4. Don’t ever again ask me why I have louvers in my dress. That’s between me and Agent Ness.

  5. Fortunately the concept of ‘police women’ didn’t catch on for another 6 decades.

  6. HOW IT WENT DOWN BEFORE IPHONES:
    That shot you just heard? That was your dog. I know you just saw us doing this deal up here on the roof. If you know what’s best for you – you’ll keep your mouth shut or it will be more than just your dog dying. Who are they going to believe? Me or you? Think about it, take your homeless riff-raff self, and scram. If I see you around here again – i’ll add you to the dog pile.

  7. “It was nothing to her, that an innocent man was to die for the sins of his forefathers; she saw, not him, but them. It was nothing to her, that his wife was to be made a widow and his daughter an orphan; that was insufficient punishment, because they were her natural enemies and her prey, and as such had no right to live.”

    A Tale of Two Cities
    – Charles Dickens

  8. You say you got them sissy stripey britches in New York City??? You march you butt over to the mechantile and get some Levi’s..

  9. You old fool!! Just you wait until I get home and then I’ll give you a piece of my mind. Don’t you give me any backtalk, now git!!!

  10. Police Officer: Well?

    Kirk: You’re a police officer. I recognize the traditional accoutrements.

  11. “Women are forbidden from wearing patent leather shoes, lest men see reflections of their underwear.” – Stupid Laws, compliments of Cleveland, Ohio

  12. Listen carefully Ralph. I’m bloated, I’m cranky, and I’m armed, so think real carefully before you answer. Whattaya think of this hat?

  13. “They put one of yours in the hospital, you put one of theirs in the morgue – THAT’s the Chicago way….” (and it still is)…

    ~Elenor Ness, 1908

  14. “The passing years have slowed you on the draw…” – WC Fields in “Tillie and Gus” (1933)

  15. I swear, I just called you Bobby because it’s British slang for a constable. I never meant for it to mean that you were…well…slightly…man…ish.

  16. “Look, I don’t have a holster with this git-up, so I’m just gonna hold it like this while we discuss the local loitering ordnance.”

  17. When Quentin Tarantino re-booted “The Grapes of Wrath,” he decided to off Tom Joad’s character before that insufferable “Whenever you see a…” monologue at the end.

  18. Nice enough fake period picture – window AC units like the one to the right of his head were somewhat unavailable in that time period.

    • According to the source cited by the photo, it is from the Bain Collection in the Smithsonian and it is dated 1909. It is a picture of a suffragette illustrating the concept of a female police officer. I don’t think that is an A/C unit in the picture.

  19. Lady’s Auxiliary Officer Miss Abigail Snodgrass has been know to inform potential arrestees, as in this case, that she does not have enough room on her revolver handle for notches and that she uses button trimmed pleats on her skirt to keep count.

  20. The “tacti-cool” look sure has evolved over the years. In my opinion, that has to be the poorest design of a police officer’s uniform I have ever seen.
