Anecdote told to me by a friend who is a sheriff's deputy out west:
They got a call to quell some rowdiness. One particularly drunk person was giving them a really hard time, all the while seeming to not understand anything the deputies said. After trying to be calmly professional, my friend Bob turned to his partner and said, "Hell, just cuff him and charge him with being an asshole". The man responded, 'Asshole?? Who you calling a.......oops....'
