This is a Penthouse Forum letter without the sex.

My brother was at a friend’s house for band practice when said friend got busted for dealing pot. A whole bunch of cops came in, guns pointed at the whole group and screamed at them to get on the ground. My brother just froze as they kept screaming at him. As he recounted this to me, he said, “you know how on episodes…

Because when your hand moves they say "I thought she was reaching for a gun." And then they're free to murder her.

I know it’s shot and edited that way for (pause)... dramatic effect, but it’s really irritating when a renovator discovers an “oopsie” that should / would have been caught by any decent pre-close inspection:

I enjoyed Holmes On Homes because the guy just seemed personally offended by shoddy workmanship.
