A Bright Future in Traffic Branch!

A police officer was standing in the yard of the Wayside Tavern.

In one of the more astounding (and public) displays of "Clueless Constable Syndrome" he pointed to the spot in the security fence where Mine Host had indicated trespassers had entered the premises the night before, and said (his resigned tone indicating he believed himself in the presence of intellectual inferiors):

"Dunno how you can complain people got into the place, there's a hole been made in the fence right at that spot!"
