Rachelee, A great idea!
This reminds me of the old Lenny Bruce story where he dresses up in a prisoner’s outfit, goes up to a cop in the street, asking for directions.
Wally “popeye” Doyle? Somehow it doesn’t seem to fit. But goodluck anyway Wally!
Rachelle, I think that’s an awesome idea. I’ll get on it right away.
Why didn’t Tony think of that?
Rachelle’s idea seems the way to go, maybe it’ll even help him overcome his fears.
But was I the only thinking of the other things that could happen if Wally had gone thru with the original plan? After reading about his previous exploits, it seems that Wally + handcuffs would not be a good idea. I was going to adive him against it, but not for the sake of Victim or their friendship, but for safety’s sake.
Anyone else have images of Wally handcuffing this guy to himself and losing the keys?
Or Wally accidentally handcuffing himself to the car, which is parked on a hill without the emergency brake set so the car promptly starts to roll downhill with Wally running trying to keep up?
The possiblities are endless.
Maybe “the victim” can now have an arrousal complex when seeing the police, which might be better than the fear complex…
From what I understand I think aha used to be the cowboy from the Village People! 
I’m not sure about the law in Canada, Walls, but in most jurisdictions down here it’s a crime to impersonate a police officer, and the fact that you’re doing it as a joke wouldn’t make any difference. And what you’re contemplating is impersonation – as opposed to, say, wearing a cop “costume” – because you want your victim to believe you are, in fact a cop. Your cop friend is a fool to go along with this and ought to stick with his first (and better) instinct to refuse to play any part in it.
Go with the cop-stripper, because Tony’s plan has “Bad Idea” written all over it. And remember it was a Doper who suggested the cop-stripper before you complain that we don’t let you have any fun. 
The only problem I see with the stripper idea is that you want Mr. Victim to be rather intimidated until she starts peeling off her clothes. But most men aren’t particularly intimidated by women (please, no sharp rocks from the ladies in the house), or at least not by a really sexy women. And this little stunt requires her to be verbally abusive, and intimidating about it as well. Now, maybe if the stripper was three hundred pounds with a face like a pitbull…
Of course, on the other hand, it could be that the uniform itself would do the trick, I don’t know the extent of this guy’s phobia.
Although it sounds like you’ve changed your mind about dressing up as a cop, I still want to put my two cents worth in.
My ex was snake-phobic. When he was a teen, he worked for a local burger joint (one of these small places where the fry chef is tripping over the counter clerk) One day a guy brought in an inflatable toy snake and threw it at John. John brought his rifle to work for a week after that, intending to shoot the guy if he did it again.
Phobics are not rational. It’d be like prodding a bear with a stick.
P.S. If you get to know this guy & he’s really phobic, suggest that he go see a therapist. Phobias are the easiest thing in the world to correct. My ex now can identify nearly every snake in the world & goes up to them to pet them when he sees one.
On the other other hand, what if you got a dominatrix/stripper? A dominatrix would probably be a bit more experienced at intimidation and verbal abuse. Just a thought.
Wanna real good laugh?
Get him a male stripper.
I’ve never intentionally broken a law in my life. Some could call me a model citizen ;), but I am absolutely, positively terrified of police. I have always been. I remember the DARE Officer in 5th grade scared the bejeesus out of me every Friday morning.
I think the male stripper idea is a good one
God I’d like to see Wally hire a male stripper.
I can see his next thread title “My Adventures With A Male Stripper”.
I’m giggling imagining the type of misadventures that would transpire.

I know that a female stripper dressed as a cop isn’t quite as intimidating as a male dressed as a cop but come on. This guy is gonna freak at the sight of the uniform not at the sight of the woman. Once he’s through freaking out and she starts doing her thing, he’ll get a laugh out of it. You don’t want the poor man to have a heart attack or anything.
Rach –
You seem to have had some personal experiences in this realm.
Care to share? Are there pics?
Impersonating a police officer is a crime in Canada.
Like I’ve said before, Wally’s life story could make an awesome movie or tv show. You could sell it to Fox…they’ll show anything. Tell us the results of this stunt!
What if Wally dressed up as a cop and started stripping?
The stripper is a great idea. Much better than my first thought, when I noticed the thread was looking for alternative ideas.
I had envisioned Wally becoming best buds with the victim over the course of the night. Later in the evening a couple of “the guys” have a DUI or some other law related argument.
Tony of course would point out, “Well, wally is a cop as HIM!”
yeah the stripper is a much better idea.

Looks like I’m not the only one who had visions of disaster reading the OP.
Wally, we all love you but you have to admit you’re a magnet for slapstick disaster (no keystone references now). I can see the guy freaking out, drawing guns and taking the guests hostage precipating a real police situation.
Or worse. Who knows? It IS Wally after all…
