McGruff the Crime Dog gets taste of his own medicine
I guess this isn't funny at all. Then why am I laughing so hard milk is coming out of my nose?
I can't make this any better than the original story from D.C. Examiner. So here it is...
McGruff the Crime Dog, the stern but beloved police mascot who teaches kids how to stop crime before it happens, became a victim himself this weekend when a Metro bus driver punched him in the face as a stunned group of children watched, authorities said.
And then there's this, which may be the best sentence I've ever read:
McGruff staggered, children screamed and the crime dog's attacker jumped back into the bus and drove off, police said.
Here he is posing with his sidekick, the sideways-baseball-cap wearing dog with attitude.

Daily Breeze reporter Donna Littlejohn has shared her homes with a succession of wonderful, funny, and occasionally difficult canines -- Muffin, Fritz, Ellie, Mercy, Pilgrim and now Cowboy, an Australian shepherd-border collie, and Tess, a border collie. From strong-willed terriers to weirdly obsessed Australian shepherds, they've invaded her world with boundless energy, wet noses, muddy paws and soggy tennis balls. But they've really brought so much more than that -- like laughter and joy, some unexpected life lessons, and more than a few tears along the way.

Josh Grossberg grew up with the usual array of animals: goldfish, dogs, hamsters, parakeets and turtles. He now owns the loudest dog in the South Bay(Video: Rocket the Dog) and is the least popular person on his block. He spends his free time in dog parks, pet shops and always has an extra plastic bag in his pocket just in case. He also has a cat.

I also laugh at people who slip on banana peels.
Out of curiosity, why would ANYONE being sucker-punched be amusing to you? Is it just that the recipient was a "caricature"? Or one that represents anti-crime? Or is it that you don't follow through with the reality that there's another human being INSIDE the costume?
The man inside was hurt and the coward that socked him was a thug. And your joking about it is callous.
The whole incident occurred in front of children who it was reported had the humane reaction of horror. They were stunned and they screamed. You blew milk out of your nose. Hmmmm.
i thought it was funny too but then i have been told i am "just not right".
