King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates, the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan. Croesus said, “I’ll give you 100,000 dinars for it.” “But I paid a million dinars for it,” the King protested. “Don’t you know who I am? I am the king!” Croesus replied, “When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are.” ~ Why are elections, with those horrible commercials, held during football season? ~ @chescaleigh My mentions are a victim blaming, derailing, mansplaining free zone.

Is this a man or a woman? How do we know it is a policeman? The last question is very important. How do we know it is a policeman?
