…
One Monday morning, while working dock duty at the High Court, in Glasgow. I was having a cup of tea, when I looked up and saw this pretty young policewoman, coming towards me.
‘Hi Uncle Harry, I bet you’re surprised to see me?’ she said.
It was the daughter of one of my closest friends. ‘What are you doing here?’ I asked her.
‘I’ve been assigned here for the entire week!’ she replied.
She sat down and I introduced her to the other cops present – some of them knew of her dad.
After exchanging some updated gossip with her, I went to see the duty officer and arranged for her to work with me for the rest of the week, as she was a nice, quiet, reserved girl.
I then phoned her dad at his CID office and told him I was working with her and I would make sure, she would be all right.
Later the same day, we had just come down from the court for lunch and as usual, had to pass a cell full of accused prisoners due up in the court that day.
As we were passing, one of them shouted out, ‘Hey sweetheart, gonnae sit on my face?’
Quick as a flash, she responded with, ‘Why? Is your nose bigger than your penis?’
The other prisoners burst out laughing at this impromptu reply and, as we walked on, he was being pelted with verbal abuse from his other cellmates!
Needless to say, I phoned her dad and told him that I thought she’d be okay!
