Here's a short story;
Back when I was a rookie cop being shown the ropes by an experienced officer named Mike, a call came in of breaking and entering at a local salvage yard. Mike was all too aware that the place was guarded by a vicious rottweiler named Sid, and when we arrived, he pulled out a fire extinguisher?an exceptional deterrent when sprayed into an animal?s eyes. Our shift sergeant duly arrived and confidently led the way over the barbed-wire fence into the dark yard. As soon as we rounded the first
corner, we saw Sid, standing about 40 yards away, baring his teeth and growling with intent. Then he charged us. However, rather than run, the sergeant decided that he was Crocodile Dundee and attempted to stare down the creature. It didn?t work, and when Sid was a mere 15 feet away, Mike grabbed the extinguisher and yelled, "Here Sarge, use this!" The sergeant nodded grimly, took it and swung it way up in the air, then brought it down on the leaping mutt?s head with a massive thud, killing it outright. "Not quite what I had in mind, Sarge," was all a stunned Mike could say.
