I ran a singing telegram company in Lexington, Kentucky during the 90's. Escort agencies started becoming more and more plentiful and more and more bold. We started receiving a lot of calls asking for illegal services so I started to investigate. The more I investigated the more I started getting harassed by local police. My phones were obviously tapped and I would get calls warning me to back off. Then, the police got bold and started parking across the street from me and following me.
Regardless, the company boomed and expanded to include all types of entertainment and booking nationwide and overseas. We moved just over the city limit to Nicholasville, Kentucky in a warehouse district. We opened a card and gift shop in the front. Then, we prepared an area for dinners and awards and a dance floor with lights and sound and an elevated disc jockey booth for weddings and parties.
Not long after this, the Nicholasville police were asked to harass us for the Lexington police. They started tapping the phones and parking across the street in marked and unmarked cars. They started watching us from specially fitted vans at night and coming by our place with ignorant, biased questions. I grew tired of this and went to the Nicholasville police station and asked for Chief Barry Waldrop. I waited in a chair and got bored. I noticed a brochure in one of those plastic stands on the desk. I went up and grabbed one, read it while waiting. I waited some more and read it again. This time I noticed something that got my attention. I had suspected all along that the police were getting payoffs from the escort agencies. The flier now tells me the truth.
This is truly funny, you must read it carefully and watch until the end for the suprising answer.

@keysrme123 Yes, but I will find the study I speak of. It basically says that most who enter law with B average or above or either lawyers or detectives, the rest are those below that become street cops.

@unclemonkeystudios Hold on a minute. You are bouncing from the statement you made that "most have 'C' averages or lower" to what a school requires for admittance into a training academy. I'm not sure, but I believe that a 2.0 GPA is the equivalent of a D average (in my day) LOL. When I attended the requirement to enter was far less than C average. But the college I attended is highly respected for it's academic standing...... two different things: School's requirements vs average GPA

@keysrme123 The Grade Point Average attained by a recruit while in college is considered by many police agencies. Some departments set minimum GPA levels. For example, the police in Beaumont, Texas require at least a 2.0 college GPA for admittance into the training academy. Law enforcement departments may waive this GPA requirement for candidates who have previous experience in the military or other agencies. And that is just one instance that I found. Most agencies require just 2.0.

@keysrme123 That is a statistical fact. I will try to find the document/study where I read it and will post that as a reply.

@unclemonkeystudios I'm surprised you would make a statement like that without any proof about the average grades. Where did you get that brilliant assumption that most of them have 'C' averages or below? is that a documented fact or something you just made up?

@bek12 Ha! Speaking of typos... when the end *came, not "game".

@unclemonkeystudios I did watch the whole video, saw the typo the first time you read it, so I guess it wasn't too big of a revelation when the end game. Not sure how you could redo the video for shock effect. There are typos everywhere. Might be some way if you're creative, though.

@bek12 You're right, I should shorten the video and get straight to the message.

Well, I'm 2 minutes in and you're reading benefits for the job, and I can't help but wonder where this is going. It's feeling VERY slow so far. No offense, but I really don't care what benefits this job offers or anything else you've read so far. I feel like this is wandering far from whatever point you're trying to make.
