Which is another reason to not volunteer. “Never invite ‘The Man’ into your life.”
at least this works the other way around too ;-) (at least here where i live) this reminds me about a funny story which made the “news” yesterday. the high court ruled that a man who was charged a fine because he offended a police officer on duty got back his money because the court ruled that he has said nothing wrong. he told an officer “if you want you can also kiss my a$$” in a relative “friendly” voice. the curt ruled that this is not an offence :-) it´s an invitation the officer can follow or if he don´t want *lol* just refuse.
