thankingyou,sir,
yours sincerly,
sowmyakolla
Dear sowyrassola: Dude! Are you for real?
Well, if you must know, the subjets you need to take are: 1. How To Sell Your Integrity For a Couple Of Bucks. 2. How To Put On An Outward Appearance of Being A Modest Public Servant While Concealing Your True Nature of Public Predator. 3. How To Prostitute Your Servises While Feigning Dignity And Decorum. 4. How To Split The Proceeds With Your Chain Of Command (Fractional Mathematics). 5. How To Falsefy Truth While Keeping A Straight Face. 6. How To Generate And Maintain A Private Sourse of Revenue From Panhandlers On Your Beat. 7. How To Use Your Official Status For Private Employment of the Highest Bidder. 8. How To Sell Your Mother, Wife, Daughter At Discount Rates. 9. How To Difficate On Your Uniform And Blame Others Convincingly. 10. How To Be The Highest Scorer In The Most Popular Police Game: FALSE ENCOUNTERS! 11. How To Look At Yourself In The Mirror, Face Your Family, And The Public Without Appearing As A Hipocrite.
So, you see Shree Sowyourasshola, the list of subjects is exhaustive. These skills are usually acquired by those from gutter backgrounds, but are polished in Police Academies, and on the job. Remember: Practise these skills throughout the day and dream of them at night. Pretty quick, it’ll all come naturally. Your studying Taxation is a very good start. Once you learn how to juggle figures, it’ll be a snap to juggle police reports and innocent lives. Besides, your Pideon English and absence of any real writing skill would put you shoulder-to-shoulder with most IPS clowns.
But if you truly desire to serve the nation, get yourself a job sweeping the streets or cleaning public toilets. It is more honorable than discrediting the police uniform by lothesome, gutter conduct.
Make your family proud! Good Luck!
