ROOKIE

Rookie

A rookie Police Officer was assigned his
first day to ride in a cruiser with a more
experienced partner. A call came over the
car's radio telling them to disperse some
people in town who were loitering. The
officers drove to the street and immediately
observed a small crowd standing on one 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 now!"

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,
"Considering this is a bus stop."
