I was just talking to the The Burp and she was telling me that today The Rooster had to go to court to be a witness in a case (I ask you, yet again, is there anything this bloke can't do???)*. Anyway, a while back a police officer came to their house to get a statement and while The Burp was talking to him at the door, Bay Leaf and Machiavelli were acting up. The Burp was trying to pull them into line, with little result, when the cop (dressed in his uniform) stood over them and barked, "Do as your mother says!"
They both shot off into the safety of the house and The Burp says that now she can handily threaten them with, "I'll tell that policeman on you if you don't behave!" It's good when human beings are still young and naive enough to manipulate like that.
*As it turned out, the guy pleaded guilty so The Rooster didn't get to sit there looking like a solid citizen giving his unshakeable and damning testimony.
