NORTH BRUNSWICK, N.J. � Cash-strapped police
departments around the country � including in Hagerstown, Md. � are considering
selling advertising space on their patrol cars, an idea that has some officers
worried they will get stuck driving around with an embarrassing ad.
“I don’t want my officers

public safety director of Long Branch, NJ “We’ve come a long way to be perceived

I wonder if Dunkin Donuts or Crispy Kreme
will be the first sponsors? An what would a suggestive condom ad be? Would it be
“Where the rubber meets the road” or “To serve and protect”? It would give a
whole new meaning to the word copulation. Actually I think a truer condom ad
should be “Remember Onan” –Genesis 38:9-10. Using advertising on patrol cars
would be really tacky, especially targeted ads from bail bondsmen and
lawyers.
