But why did we hire an interim police chief who also lives in the Midwest? And why does Barnes get to keep his signing bonus? Are we running some kind of charity for midwestern cops?

    All these allegations are really a coverup for Interim Police Chief Andre Sayles's real crime of referring to Pike Place Market as the location of "the first Starbucks".

    I thought the punishment for that was straight to jail?

    Nope, you get "limed," which is when someone ties your shoelaces to a lime bike and tosses you into the sound.

    The Seattle lime reefs are coming along nicely, although the local sea life is apparently a bit "zappy" from the close proximity to the batteries.
