        I thought the ridiculousness of the situation was the joke.

          Yeah, cops pull favors for friends and family all the time. This doesn’t read as comically absurd.

          Edit: geez I just fixed a bunch of typos…

            How it’s written combined with the title and it being posted to Twitter doesn’t seem like your run-of-the-mill favour stuff but rather makes me think it’s made for a joke.

          Unfortunately I know people who 100% would have done that in our younger years. Proportionality is just a fancy word to them.

          Wrong me? Nuclear bomb time!

          Ughh…

      This may be a joke, since it somehow ended up on Twitter, but I’d be willing to bet this has happened many times regardless.
