Out on a limb
By BOB WALTERS
There won't be an "Out on a Limb" today. Instead, this
pace will pay tribute to those faithful public servants, those
unsung knights in shining armor, the parking meter ticket
writers. Little has been said in print about these devoted men-in-blue
and I think it's time to give them the attention they
so Justly deserve. Fight back those tears of appreciation,
citizens, and join me in honoring these valiant warriors.
THE METER GAME
This is the city. The sun is shining. The people are
happy. They are happy because they have parked their cars
and they are going shopping.
My name's Grunch. Sam Crunch. I'm a cop.
Yes, the people are happy. Far too happy.
My job: Do something about it.
I walk down the street, big six-gun bouncing on my hip.
Kids stare at the gun. They respect me. They respect me
because they don't know I've never fired the thing in my life.
Then I see a car, a parked car. Next to it is a parking
meter. A beautiful green parking meter that symbolizes my
very existence. Inside the meter is a little red flag. It says
"Violation."
Frantically, I take out my ticket book. My hand sweats
so that I can hardly hold my pencil. This is my moment of
truth, the instant for which I live and breathe.
I jay-run across the street. Cars slam on their brakes.
Drivers see my uniform and they know I am a policeman.
They know I am protecting their welfare and they do not
want to delay me in the performance of my duties.
Besides that, they do not want to hit me. They know it
is not wise to hit a police officer. And I am a police officer.
But I believe I said that.
Knees trembling, foam dripping from the corners of my
mouth, I begin writing the ticket. The sound of the pencil
on the little yellow envelope is music to my ears.
Suddenly I am interrupted. A little old lady taps me
on the belt. She taps me there because she cannot reach
my shoulder.
"Officer," she says, "I hate to bother you, but the bank
is being robbed. A million dollars has been stolen, the bank
president has been killed and other various and sundry
bodies fill the lobby. I thought you would like to know."
"Little old lady," says I, giving her my policeman-talking-to-a-little-old-lady
look, "I am busy. If I leave now, this car
may leave before I return. Then the city will not get 50
cents and I will be unhappy."
"I understand, Officer," she says. And she goes away.
I finish writing the ticket. I place it under the windshield
wiper, which is more difficult than usual since this car has
no windshield.
I feel good inside. I do a brief soft-shoe routine. Then
I go back to pacing the streets, thinking about the little old
lady. She was a very wise little old lady because she under
stood what many people these days cannot comprehend.
This is the age of the specialist.
