A rookie police officer was assigned to ride in a cruiser
with an experienced partner. A call came over the car's
radio telling them to disperse some people who were
loitering. The officers drove to the street and observed a
small crowd standing on a corner.

The rookie rolled down his window and said : " Let's get
off the corner. "

No one moved, so he barked again : " Let's get off the
corner ! "

Intimidated, the group of people began to leave, casting
puzzled glances in his direction. Proud of his first official
act, the young policeman turned to his partner and asked :
" Well, how did I do ? "

" Pretty good, " replied the veteran, " Especially since this
was a bus stop. "
