Good Morning SWAT Team!

I work for a university. Over the course of a day, my email account gets filled with all sorts of announcements: Grand Rounds, Student Meetings, Special Speakers, etc. Since the majority of these communications have nothing to do with my little corner of academia, I arranged for these messages to go into my Junk-Mail file.

This morning, I was taking the stairs up to the lab. Coming down the stairs was about twelve men in black uniforms, wearing flak jackets, and carrying guns . Well, I didn’t need a carbonated-caffeinated beverage after that sight! Did one of the researchers finally crack? Is there some large, mutated rodent lose in the building?

An announcement about the local SWAT Team using our building for training was in my Spam box. :smack:

Now I’m going to adjust my Spam filter.

Got your hopes up, did they? :wink:

Gasp! I’ll have you know that I’m a happily married Mus musculus. The nerve!

:smiley:

(Who the heck decided policemen should wear black? Don’t they know how bad that looks?)

That’s hysterical. I’ve shared it with my lab.

Says who? Black is the new… black!

Maybe they’re goth police?

I think it’s beacuse it looks very slimming on them. After all, as the wise man once said, it is as important to look good as to feel good.

Goth Police: Freeze! You’re being arrested for using eyeliner appropriately. You have the right to remain surly. If you give up that right, anything you say can - and will - be used to mock you. . .

If there was appropriate music, weird architecture and billowing fog, they could be Gothic Police!

Like this guy?

Hmm training in University Buildings.

perhaps a reaction to this incident?

Hum, that’s a good point. I thought it was because we were close to the police academy.

One of my co-workers walked out to her car yesterday and saw a SWAT member using it for “cover.” She wasn’t sure what to do. Excuse me, sir. Can you hide somewhere else?
