Why am I shocked? Geez, this
Why am I shocked? Geez, this is beyond ridiculous. I have done nothing but bitch about this for 3 days and I'm to the point that I can hardly even think about it anymore simply because I'm tired of being pissed off.
S.O.P.
Standard operating procedure, my friend.
I can also think of another applicable acronym: S.S.D.D.
Unacceptable
Again I say unacceptable... would someone check to see if Mark Cawood works for the Sherriff Department now
