Do As I Say But Never as I Do !

When hired at a local police department, the chief always greets the new officers with his usual "Treat everyone with respect" and "Keep your personal life unsoiled" speech. What he's most known for is his "When you lie down with dogs you get fleas" quip. What's interesting about these pearls of wisdom is that they come from a man who spends his summers in Florida vacationing with a former resident who got rolled up in a federal investigation involving the transportation of large amounts of marijuana across state lines. But it's all very innocent because according to the chief the guy in Florida "has never been convicted!" (could it be because he cooperated with the feds by turning rat?)

Oh, and another thing: The chief's boss (the mayor) has a son who, according to Florida State corporation records, is a business associate of the former DEA arrestee turned songbird. Hmmmm!
