All you Yankees talk funny!
No, the rest of the world talks funny. Ever hear someone from central or east Texas?

A donut shop next to a police station seems like what scientists refer to as a symbiotic relationship, in which one animal species benefits another to their mutual benefit.
You know, like cattle egrets or tick birds and the Cape buffalo. (Laughing Smilie here. For some reason, I can't get the Smilies to work.)
I thought of this as soon as I saw the topic, about a donut shop next to a cop shop. I didn't post sooner, because I was concerned that somone with a imited sense of humor would complain that this is anti-cop.
Not meant that way. I've been a cop and I eat donuts. (Another laughing Smilie.) I even watch Blue Bloods, NCIS, and re-runs on YouTube of Blue Heelers, an Australian cop show.

Yeah, Audie Murphy, MH.
West Texas? George W. Bush, who now lives in Dallas.
I'd have been honored to shake hands with either man. Audie Murphy was among my boyhood heroes, the recepient of virtually every US medal for valor in WWII, inc. the Medal of Honor.
I can understand New Yorkers. Their accent and their culture just grates on my nerves.
Now, if you've spoken to a Newfie from the west side of the island, that can be tough to understand, especially if they're excited, eh? Over around St . Johns, you get a different, flatter accent. Think actress Shannon Tweed. Or singer Anne Murray, although she's from another island, Nova Scotia.
BTW, if our younger members have never heard Maj. Murphy's voice, you can find some of his movies on YouTube. One has been, "No Name on the Bullet." I hope it's still there. Apart from Western roles, where his voice seemed especially authentic, the war hero played detectives well.

My department had a new DARE program, DARE to keep cops off donuts.

It's possible this new Factory would be used to roast and package coffee which is big part of Dunkin Donuts' business model, and something that is not done at a local level. It might be to produce and print the boxes the donuts go into. There's a lot more to their business then just donuts.I guess they don't make them in house anymore, I guess that guy that used to say, it's time to make the Donut's is out of a job.
Yep, as far as I know the ones I get at the store have been frozen before I get to them, which is rare.I guess they don't make them in house anymore, I guess that guy that used to say, it's time to make the Donut's is out of a job.
When DD was young I remember going in the store at 6 am, there was no one at the counter 'cause the only guy in there was in the back making the donuts and coffee. When I opened the door the store was usually empty and the Godly smell of donuts being made and coffee being brewed gently hit my face with a warm welcome, lol, waking me up. Going in there in the dead of winter with temps below 20's was heavenly.
LOL, right. Ya know D&D just isn't the same to me here, hahaa.I bet you don't have too many days like that in Fl,
I've heard people tell me that ones blood will thin after being here for a while but I don't think so. I've been here for years now and am still the only one not shivering in the winter or cold weather areas. I guess since I spent most of my life exposed to the cold, wet weather while riding dirt bikes, huntin', and workin' really conditioned me good, lol.

Rich Davis from the old Second Chance Body Armor Co., had one 'of the longest and best cop + donut jokes on his "eight hour training film."
"What about the guys at the station?" And the donut shop guy drove
a bucket loader around and filled up the patrol car's trunk. Then
added a 55 gallon drum of coffee. I miss Second Chance.
Used to stop and eat at the diner in Central Lake, MI where the scene was filmed when I got to town every June for the Second Chance Bowling Pin Shoot.

That's funny.
I thought I would never drink coffee but when I went to work full and overtime at 16 after about 4 years of working my butt off as a single guy I tried it for waking up in the early cold mornings. The rest is history, lol.
WOW !
Quick, is the Trenton Police Department hiring ????

I like the glazed KK the best. I can eat a dozen "Hot Now" when I'm not even hungry. Larry
Mmmmmm, I get a taste for TruMoo chocolate milk now and then, but it has to be the 4%, not the 2%.
Krispy Kreme donuts, oh yeah. The glazed crinkles for me.
Now that's just wrong.

I joined the PD in Sept. 72, and us "rookies" walked the beat, which I did for nearly 3 years. Down the street from the Station was a bakery shop and the smells coming from it early in the morning were wonderful. The baker started baking around 4 in the morning and you could smell the goodies walking down the street.

I don't know if it's still operating--probably not, it was many years ago--but there used to be a donut shop here that was owned and operated by three cops. It was a wonderful sales gimmick, and the donuts were pretty good; but I'm sure the jokes wore thin very early on.
