Compulsory is a 4 letter word over there though.

Could be a 2 minute mandatory training course and they've say it infringes their rights.

Guy just hit the lotto. Stupid of the gun shop to hand him a loaded gun but who takes a gun, points it at some part of their body and pulls the trigger?

Shakes it off a bit.

Dunno what that has to do with "ending his career" though. Sounds like taking the opportunity to get early retirement at someone elses expense IMO.


He wasn't able to point people out in the line up anymore so his carrier was over!!!!

Or was it he couldn't put the finger on crime anymore

Or he couldn't finger his suspect

Please someone stop me!!!!!! :silent: :crazy: :wtf: :problem:
