(Yes, it's now marked OT on the subject)

The Baltimore Police Department, famous for its superior K-9 unit, was
somewhat taken back by this recent incident:

Returning home from work, a blonde was shocked to find her house
ransacked and burglarized.  She telephoned the police at once and
reported the crime.

The police dispatcher broadcast the call on the channels and a K-9 unit
patrolling nearby was the first to respond.

As the K-9 officer approached the house with his dog on a leash, the
woman ran out on the porch, shuddered at the sight of the cop
and his dog, then sat  down on the steps put her face in her hands and
moaned, "I come home to find all my possessions stolen. I call the
police for help, and what do they do? They send me a BLIND policeman!"
