It hasn't been my experience, and I've been a connoisseur of Chinese food since my time in Beijing, but perhaps things are different where you are.<BR/><BR/>Even so, your lieutenant is absolutely right, and I'm shocked you don't see it: ethnic jokes have absolutely no place on the job, at least in your line of work.<BR/><BR/>You want to make ethnic jokes here on your blog or elsewhere when you're off-duty? Fine. (Well, not so fine IMHO, but it's your right. Our society has decided that behavior which makes some citizens uncomfortable and even uncooperative with LEOs they may encounter is a lesser evil than somewhat restricting the free speech of some people who freely chose their occupations.)<BR/><BR/>Ethnic jokes in the line of duty? Bad news. Yes, there might be a basis in fact for the one you used, just as there may have been for other kinds of ethnic jokes (eg, Jews being wealthy and thrifty, Italians being dirty, blacks having turned to crime, etc). <BR/><BR/>But we're not talking about libel or slander, and presumably the incident you reported had nothing to do with poodles or Chinese restaurants. Truth isn't a defense here.<BR/><BR/>Last but not least, you might have contacts at the Health Department. But you don't know who may have contacts at, say, the local paper or radio or TV station, or a local or state legislator's office. Don Imus' fame and stature (read: millions of dollars in extra ad revenue) didn't save him after that "nappy-headed hos" comment. <BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/><BR/>Jeff DeutschJeff Deutschhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888674977242961499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-47291690217263408532007-06-28T09:29:00.000-05:002007-06-28T09:29:00.000-05:00In Newport News, VA, there was a little Chinese pl...In Newport News, VA, there was a little Chinese place called (I'm not kidding) "Wok and Roll".<BR/><BR/>Right next door in the strip mall was the pet store.

To get back to work, you got back the highway, and drive past the resturaunt about a mile to turn around. Located right next to the resturant, not visible as you approached on the road, but clearly visible after you left, was the local animal hospital. When I say "next to", I mean you could walk from one to the other in a monsoon and not get wet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22957834.post-44610922887925231522007-06-27T13:37:00.000-05:002007-06-27T13:37:00.000-05:00I once heard a health inspector say...
