Joking aside, my respect for taking a bad situation with aplomb.
I should explain. My work life involved setting up systems for law enforcement, military, medical and education. I developed, installed and trained end users on how to do certain specific and technical tasks for which they were ill-prepared. We developed the first in-cruiser video system that had a camera mounted behind the driver's seat with a recorder in the trunk. It used 8mm video tapes! Activated by a switch when the emergency lights turned on. I can't believe how primitive those things were. We later did another similar system for a waste collection company that was having legal issues with damage claims.
In any case, my best friend was a guy who ran the photo department at our regional crime lab. Every mugshot taken in SW Ohio went through his photo lab. Whenever he saw a picture of me, and there were plenty because we also did all of those systems, he made prints and circulated them to every department he worked with. Then he digitized the most sinister and sent them out, too! I've been threatened with arrest for Failure To Do Right and Mopery but I've never actually hit the slammer in earnest!
