Well, not quite

Maybe these will help me live long enough to reap the benefits of nerve regenerative therapy, so I can legally enter the police force and become a plays-by-his-own-rules officer who doesn't get along with the chief, but dammit he does his job well and deserves a raise after a year and a half! And once he gets that raise, maybe he'll take that quiet but oddly endearing ticketwoman at the theatre out for a nice steak dinner like he's been meaning to.

Excellent. Now, go on, make a movie out of it.

Nice.

People need to accept aging and death more.

Dammit Dave, hand over your badge! You're off the force! And where's my damn bagel and coffee?!

Interesting, I'd like to see what develops as a result. Although we hardly need more people around these days.

You're supposed to say:

Damnit Dave, you're a loose canon! The mayor's all over my ass!

 

[Pesmerga]

You're supposed to say:

The mayor's all over my ass!

And not because he doesn't like me :naughty:

 

[Stigmata]

Damnit Chief, I'm all over Pesh's ass!

Wait...

That's one of my concerns. As trends are going we're looking at global underpopulation in the long run; this *might* reverse that.
