'Ya, bye', said the RCMP Sergeant pensively as he hung the phone up.
'What's up with your Prince Rupert friend?' asked the corporal.
'He says they had to invite the Delta Police to investigate an injury to a civilian up there. Delta are the pricks who tried to give Monty the Mountie Menace such a hard time for his second killing.'
'Oh-oh,' responded the corporal. 'Well what happened up in Rupert?'
'Some 15 year old girl yelled at her mother that she was going to kill herself if she had to keep living under the same roof, and somebody called 911. When we got there, the women said it was just a normal arguement and the girl was just being dramatic and they didn't need us.'
''Sounds like my wife and daughter sometimes,' chuckled the corporal. ' I hope they tried to use psychergy.'
'Psychergy?' asked the Sergeant?
'Ya, like shrinkergy, you know? Talk them down off the ledge stuff.'
' I know what the words mean,' the sergeant said somewhat testily, 'but remember this: we're called a police force, not a police debating team,' . And don't talk about psychergy to the Rupert members,' continued the sergeant. They're not having any of it. They decided to arrest the girl for her own good and she didn't want to be arrested, so they broke her arm.'
'Bummer', said the corporal, abashed and subdued.
' Double bummer,' corrected the sergeant. 'They broke it in two places.
