re: What are the redeeming qualities of Louisiana?

You have nice young cops.

I got pulled over for speeding (55 in a 40 zone) a few months back in a tiny little town +- 50 miles below Rayville one Saturday afternoon. The young cop took one look at me and said "I can't ticket an old guy. Slow it down some." and he let me go. How he knew I was old, I have no idea, since I have no markings indicating anything like "Old Fart Behind the wheel" on my truck.

Nice Kid.

I have another example. I worked with a real loud arse prick one time His photo is beside the definition for prick in the dictionary. He went to a Saints game once and parked somewhere clearly marked "No Parking". While he was in the game, they towed his car. It took him two days to locate it and pay a great big fine to get it out of the impound lot. They scratched the paint badly, too. Considering what a jerk he was and how badly it pissed him off, I started to write a thank you card to the NO PoPo dept for their service.

You guys got the very best PoPos.
