Some of the people I follow on Twitter have been making the following observation: if a burger flipper is paid $15/hr plus benefits, they will be making the nearly the same as a cop who risks his life and has to endure lots of training.

It’s a fair observation. If fast food workers make what cops make, why would a cop risk his life and put up with all the hassle of it? Clearly the cop’s wage would have to be raised or else one of several bad things happens. Cops would leave for easier, equally well paying work; they would quit or retire; or they would stay because they love the job, but suffer from morale problems as their earning power dwindles and their colleagues go elsewhere.

However, we here at the Times-Picayune like to keep our loyal readers informed. One such news story concerns Ms. Bonita Lynn Vela of Franklin, Indiana. Ms. Vela, an amateur vivisectionist specializing in home castration techniques, was arrested after she apparently attempted the impromptu emasculation of an unwilling participant.

The alleged victim was the boyfriend of one of her female spawn. For obvious reasons the gentleman prefers to remain anonymous. It seems that after smoking a small quantity of what must have been some excellent weed, Ms. Vela became a little suspicious of her potential son-in-law’s activities, and like any red-blooded American mom, she took decisive action.

According to reports Vela lured the unsuspecting dude to her trailer where she and two henchmen…
