 * Two palookas had both taken money to throw a fight. They sparred for a couple of rounds and then by accident one guy actually hit the other with a punch. The fighter immediately swooned and fell to the mat, thereby winning his bribe. The other fighter paced around the ring knowing he was in trouble now. As the referee counted, the potential winner had a brain storm. He ran over to his prostrate opponent and kicked him. That disqualified him and the other fighter was declared the winner.

 # There was a senior woman who lost a very precious necklace and collected $1200 for the loss from her homeowner’s insurance. A couple weeks later she found the necklace and reported it to the insurance company. In her letter she explained that she felt guilty keeping the money and the necklace, so she donated the $1200 to the Red Cross.

# The London Metropolitan Police exam had an essay question on it that set a scene and asked the applicant to explain his plan.   You are on patrol and there is loud explosion on the next street. You inspect, finding a crater and an overturned van. In the van you find a man and your lieuteant’s wife, then a man comes running from the apartment building screaming that the explosion scared his pregnant wife and she needs to get to the hospital immediately because the baby is coming. In the meantime, a well known felon on the loose, stops at the edge of the crater and gets out of his car to inspect the damage. Then you hear cries for help from the river next to the apartment as a bystander was thrown by the blast into the river and cannot swim. Describe in a few words what you would do… One of the officers explained, “I would take of my uniform and mingle with the crowd.”
