I know this is way off list-topic, but what the heck, so's hockey ;)
There was a radio station in Dallas that used to have a game called "Cop. No
Cop." They would ask a caller to guess if the doughnut shop they were about
to call would have a police officer inside. If they guessed correctly, the
caller won a prize.
New question for the contest:
How did the cop get there?

Police make doughnut run via chopper

Oct. 5, 2001 | ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. --
Albuquerque police have taken doughnut runs to new heights, swooping down in
an official helicopter for a late-night snack.
"I don't know how they decided that was a good idea," said Lt. Bob Huntsman,
department spokesman.
Huntsman said the department is investigating.
"If they violated policy or procedure, they're going to get disciplined for
it," he said. "We've worked too hard to make this a professional unit to let
lack of common sense tear us down."
Keith Turner, who works near a Krispy Kreme doughnut shop, said he was on a
break with other people early Thursday when a police helicopter circled and
landed in a dirt field nearby.
"I was like, `No, they'd better not go and get doughnuts,"' Turner said. As
the helicopter idled, someone got out and went into the store, returning 10
or 15 minutes later with a Krispy Kreme box, he said.
The chopper gave what Turner presumed was a goodbye toot on its police siren
as it took off, he said.
Huntsman confirmed it happened but said he had not yet spoken to those
aboard. He said it appeared the two officers were near the end of their shift
and probably were flying back to a hangar on the same side of town.
