Bibles and Rhymes: An Interview with Why?'s Yoni Wolf
We were at Freebirds on South Congress for a little sustenance earlier this afternoon. We’d been running errands, dealing with broken down cars and picking up friends at the airport. Needless to say, we were a bit exhausted and our vision was a little blurry. That’s probably why we didn’t trust our eyes when we first walked into the almost-empty establishment and saw a handgun sitting on a table. An unsupervised handgun. After a double take, we saw that sitting next to the gun was a badge. An APD badge. Not a cop in sight.
D'OH!
Management immediately called 311 and reported the weapon, left minutes earlier by a rather distracted cop. An officer was dispatched to the scene and the weapon was received. Also received was a tongue-lashing from the absent-minded cop’s superior.
Unfortunately, we did not catch the name of the officer. But we think it might have been Hightower or Tackleberry.

so, if i correctly name the simpsons episode quoted above, do i get the gun?
Hah, leaving a gun? Scary stuff!
d'oh.
Not to be a Police Academy geek, but Tackleberry would never leave his gun anywhere and Hightower doesn't need a gun. Most likely this move could be attributed to Zed, Sweetchuck, Jones, Hooks, Lassard, or, of course, Mahoney.
