Recently, I noticed on my visits to VAMC American Lake in Lakewood, Washington, an increased presence of police officers actually on duty since the Dunkin Donuts franchise went out of business up the road. They’ve been writing quite a few tickets for the insane 25 MPH limit in the final stretch. Occasionally, a Vet will try to make a run for it on the straightaway leaving the campus. Not to be outfoxed, the VA’s finest knew what would appeal to those beer-swilling trailer trash and came up with the perfect mousetrap. Just when the miscreant is almost scott-free, catapults adjacent to the roadway throw beer bottles out. Unable to help themselves, they stop their vehicles and begin swilling the brews. This becomes a twofer when Police also charge them with Driving under the Influence. Gotta hand it to them fellers. No flies on them. They must be an arm of the VAOIG.
