Overheard at Starbucks
"If cops & hookers usually enjoy a relationship somewhat different then cops & robbers, where do the sociologists and psychologists, the doctors, fit in?"
-"They don't go there."
"Never before in history are there so many adults who haven't been abused in childhood. There are people in this town right now who've never once been struck by a caregiver, let alone that stuff that makes the newspapers."
-"And some of those people are sociologists and psychologists."
"--But fewer are hookers...and cops, right?"
"So where DO the non-abused, educated, professional experts in human behavior fit in the "hooker-cop" mutual exploitation paradigm?"
--"See no evil?"
"Professional courtesy?"
-"Wear your jimmies?!"
