He asked, I answered redux: Men in Blue

On the way back to [livejournal.com profile] monshu's from the Printer's Row Book Fair (verdict: LAME! I only bought two books; nuff said), we saw a surprising number of Chicago's Finest at the intersection of Winthrop and Balmoral. I counted: 17 officiers, eight cars, and a paddy wagon. For what? I have no idea; there didn't seem to be a drug bust in process. In fact, the overall mood was very block party, although none of the blues actually had their fingers wrapped around a cold one. As we got nearer, [livejournal.com profile] monshu asked, "A gaggle of geese, a murder of crows...what do you call a gathering of cops?"

"A donut shop," I answered.
