Black humour. The only way to cope.

A comment posted by Alexander Ball just now:

I stopped a mobile patrol which had its siren on, and they got very upset with me.

All I did was bring out my wallet and ask for an ice cream.

And another one from the same person:

I just saw a couple of cooks directing traffic at Marsa, complete with tall white hats.

    They’ll replace the side-panniers on their bikes next, for home delivery.

  3. Jozef says:

    Seriously, anyone know what was on the menu?

  4. H.P. Baxxter says:

    I’ve been served with a summons. With a side order of chips.

  5. Kevin says:

    This gives new meaning to the promise that Labour delivers.

    Poor harassed, stressed coppers. That’s all they needed, to double up as waiters.

    ‘Minister admits he was on interviewing board but claims he had no say’

    All together now after my count to three. One. Two. Three.

    HA HA HA HA HA HA

    Dan b’min minghalh irid jit***ek?

    Minister Mallia is ever so keen to entertain us with more humour.

      His presence there was enough to influence proceedings. There was no need for him to say anything.

      This is really serious. The PN needs to raise hell on this issue.

      Mallia haseb li se jdawwarna fuq subghajh bhal ma kien jaghmel il-qorti ma’ xi erba’ gurati.

    Next up: The Full Monty.

    I think Readers’ Digest would classify this as Humour in Uniform.

    Does the Malta Police Force now also have a 3-digit number for emergency food delivery?

  11. M. Cassar says:

    ‘The Malta Police Force is one of the oldest in Europe, dating back to 1814 when Sir Thomas Maitland was Governor of Malta. The Maltese Government took over the Force in 1921, following the grant of self-government.’ gov.mt

    They have now diversified…

  12. Kevin says:

    Wasn’t “ic-chip” the slang term for prison back in the Mintoff era?

  13. Foggy says:

    I just went to the local police station to complain about being battered but was told that they were not serving fish and chips tonight.

  14. Natalie says:

    The issue about the whole story, apart from Mintofianeconomics, is that it’s demeaning for the police officers to be asked to work as waiters and cooks.

    Just as it would be demeaning for waiters and cooks to be asked to work as police officers.

    Everyone has his/her calling in life and being asked to do something which you’re not trained in, just for financial reasons, is demeaning.

    [Daphne – No, Natalie, that definitely is NOT the issue. The issue is that the police are not at the disposition of the police minister. That is the despotic way, and a danger to democracy.]
