Then, when the police are at the front door, follow the advice of Monty Python.."RUN AWAY,. RUN AWAY!!!" 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post boomerangutang Posted October 20, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2014 1. Get found in a gay club: face criminal charges. 2. Kill a cop: get a job teaching police about guns - after daddy sorted things out 3. Kill a cop, run off to Singapore while daddy sorts things out ......Note: for #2 and #3, only applies if your daddy is very rich and knows important people. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaywalker Posted October 21, 2014 Share Posted October 21, 2014 What is "Pom" famous for on the internet? His Romanized name doesn't google well. You're not Australian are you? Neither am I but I know what a pom refers to. Pom or Pommie is a derogatory term (to my limited knowledge) used by an Aussie when referring to British folks. I have no idea where it originated. Us "Yanks" call them Limeys, as at the height of the British Empire, they figured out that scurvy was best treated/prevented with a dose of lime juice every day as it was caused by a lack of Vitamin C (mainly) to the sailors in their fleet that pretty much was bad-ass in their day. I bet that lime juice went pretty good with a tot of rum . I wonder what Limeys call Aussies??? It's all vernacular Brother/Mate/Dude/Amigo. Wikipedia.org is your friend. ============== Back on topic, if I were raiding a gay bar and demanding urine samples, I'd be wearing rubber gloves. Hell, I'd be wearing a full HAZMAT suit! Then again the BiB don't even do that with murder investigations (Koh Tao). Curious how one can refuse a DNA test in a murder investigation, but must pee in a cup if they decide they want you to.
