I invite others to offer what they've learned about the human spirit from that show. Feel free to send me a friend request on Facebook.

If contraband is found in a vehicle with 2 more more people inside, it belongs to one of three characters from the old Family Circus comic strip: “Ida Know” “Not Me” or “Nobody.”

Up in these parts, people get all haughty when you bring the COPS show up and claim to have never watched it because of the way it patronizes the poor people.

However, many people do watch it as it is now in it's 25th season and has almost 1,000 episodes in constant re-runs on about a dozen cable channels.

Almost every show has a segment where you are taken to a ratty apartment where people live like slobs and the men hang out in wife-beater T-shirts (or no shirt at all), chain-smoking, drinking cheap liquor and saying dumb things like "Those ain't mah pants" and "I didn't do nuttin" and "She done hit me first an' I wuz defending mahself."

I have a relative who was a cop in Boston for a number of years and he tells me it's just like on the show except the cops aren't as polite as they are on camera. After a few years of dealing with these fools, you develop a cynicism and a hard edge.
