At the Subway Station

Last Sunday after the Phillies baseball game, a uniformed female officer was talking sternly with a very intoxicated older gentleman who was holding a can of beer. It went something like this:

Officer: Sir, you must give me your beverage.
Man: Why?
Officer: Because it is illegal to have an open container.
Man: Ok, I'll throw it away over there.
Officer: No hand it to me.
Man: No offense ma'am, but you're on duty.

One would think that he made this last remark to be a smart alec. In reality, he said it like he really didn't want her to get in trouble.

People in Philly are just that nice. Really.
