A rookie police officer was assigned to ride in a cruiser with 
an experienced partner. A call came over thhe car's radio 
telling them to disperse some people who were loitering. 

The officers drove to the street and observed a small crowd 
standing on a corner. The rookie rolled down his window and 
said, "Let's get off the corner." 

No one moved, so he barked again, "Let's get off the corner!"
Intimidated, the group of people began to leave, casting puzzled 
glances in his direction. Proud of his first official act, the young 
policeman turned to his partner and asked, "Well, how did I do?"

"Pretty good," replied the veteran, "especially since this was a bus stop."

 A policeman was patrolling a local parking spot overlooking 
a golf course. He drove by a car and saw a couple inside with 
the dome light on. There was a young man in the driver's seat 
reading a computer magazine and a young lady in the back 
seat knitting. He stopped to investigate.

 He walked up to the driver's window and knocked. The young 
man looked up, cranked the window down, and said, "Yes, officer?"

 "What are you doing?" the policeman asked.

 "What does it look like?" answered the young man. "I'm 
reading a magazine."

 Pointing towards the young lady in the back seat, the officer 
then asked, "And what is she doing?"

 The young man looked over his shoulder and replied, "What d
oes it look like?  She's knitting."

 "And how old are you?" the officer then asked the young man.

 "I'm nineteen," he replied.

 "And how old is she?" asked the officer.

 The young man looked at his watch and said, 
"Well, in about twelve minutes she'll be eighteen."
