Ok, some of my apprentices were police oficers in a previous life (what a waste of electrical talent ) You will all of heard of the one wherby a probationer was taken to a morgue to identify a body, of course the body was actualy a coleague and on being slid out, sat bolt upright and said hello to the probationer, reactions ranged from "you ******* " to fainting , screeming etc . However, as ther is nothing new, and training school were starting to advise said probationers on ways they could be caught out by old sweats, they started to get wise to this one.
One such gobby sod, cast a knowing glance when we suggested he had to attend the morgue late one night for a body identification. we suggested he should be the body, and he play the prank, as he was obviously wise to it, suggesting that a fellow probationer needed to be brought down apeg or two. we built him up a bit. In he was slid, and ther he stayed for a couple of minutes, he must of heard the approaching footsteps and was expectingto be slid out and play his part in the prank. What he did not expect, was the body next to him to suddenly say "****** cold in here in it mate "
He sat bolt upright apparently, four stitches in his forehaed later, and he finally stopped gibbering.
The only utcome was he got a -------ing from the sergeant who had lad next to him for blledingon said sergeants shirt.
. Had to use scissors in the end.
