The short stick

Ba ha ha. The French have ended restrictions that barred people under 1.6m from joining the police force. Apparently the restrictions were introduced centuries ago and the French Labour Ministry have just ended them because they are seen as discriminatory.

Well duh? I'm surprised they lasted this long. I wonder why the French were worried about short people and their ability to protect and serve. Maybe they were scared that the short people wouldn't be able to run fast enough or jump over fences while the criminals (all very tall of course) evaded their little counterparts. I would think short cops could be of great benefit. Just think, they can hide in small spaces, dress like children and pick up secrets. Heck, they could even shoot criminals in the knee caps, thereby, hindering but not killing them. Genious!

I find this hilarious...
