A friend of mine is a cop & a nice guy. I asked him why the hell he became a cop of all things & he said "this way, I know there's at least one cop in existence who's not a racist asshole."

I countered with "Oh, so you're just a regular asshole, then?" An he said "No sir; I am an ass hat. An asshole is an ass the whole time. If people are cool, I'm cool with them, but if someone wants to be an ass, I can put my ass hat on to match their energy."

I can respect that.
