C. confirms that the sword of Laban does appear on the PD patch. Symbolizing civil and moral authority (a laughable connection if ever there was one…beheaded anyone lately?). I’ll get you the actual line from the department history tomorrow to put the rumors to rest.

A thankless job if there ever was one. I agree the domestic violence calls to married housing are deeply saddening, and sadly frequent. Hopefully we help make your job more entertaining if you can laugh at some of it!

Hey, can you weigh in on the rumor that the BYU police badge includes the Sword of Laban?

I work for BYU Police (and don’t get me wrong, it can be both hilarious and pitiful) but I hate the police beat. It is supposed to display the idiocies of the students and instead makes the police look bad. The things you don’t read about in the Daily Uni-farce? The sexual assaults, domestic abuses, unbelievable amount of theft, and truly scary stalking-with-a-religious-tint that we also deal with.

Then again, there is a lot of this too: http://smalldog.wordpress.com/2009/09/24/typical-thursday-part-ii/

Good installment!

Adam: Maybe they were toiling or spinning. It’s their own fault.

Subtle, but scriptural. Awesome.

Which does not exist (Maybe in Harry Potter?). Minus 10 to the University Police if they meant the nudibranch Hopkinsia rosacea (Now called Okenia rosacea. But then who can blame them for calling it a mollusk as it would have been inappropriate to use a word with ‘nudi’ in it at BYU.
