Police chief stripped of duties disrobes, walks into storm

CROYDON, N.H. (AP) — The police chief in a New Hampshire town took it literally when he was stripped of his duties at a local board meeting, disrobing to his underwear and walking out into a snowstorm.

Richard Lee has been chief in the small town of Croydon for 20 years. On Tuesday night, the three-member selectboard voted to eliminate the one-man department and move to 100% coverage by the New Hampshire State Police.

Lee, who was at the meeting, was told to turn in the key to his cruiser, his guns and his uniform — immediately. He went into an office he shared with town officials and took off his clothes before the board chairman.

“I gave them my uniform shirt. I gave them my turtleneck, I gave them my ballistic vest. ... I sat down in the chair, took off my boots, took off my pants, put those in the chair, and put my boots back on, and walked out the door," Lee said. He didn't have spare clothes or a ride home. He walked nearly a mile before his wife picked him up.

Lee said that if he had left with his gear, he didn't want to face the possibility of being arrested. As he took off his clothes, he said, the chairman said he didn't have to do that, but Lee said those were the orders.

Lee said he is discussing what happened with his attorney.

Phone messages were left seeking comment from Chairman Russell Edwards and the two other selectmen, Ian Underwood and Joseph Marko.

What sorry ass baby.....a 1 man department? Whoever thought that sounded like a wise use of taxpayer money oughta be required to reimburse the city for the abuse of taxpayer money.

That’s fantastic!!!

An old plumber told me 50 years ago, “ When you leave a job, get fired, laud off, or quit, when you drive out, wave and say Adios you mother fuuckers”

I have always done that, will do when I retire!!

Back when I was working 12 hour shift work we had a lottery pool going on the crew I was with. We all had creative theories as to how we would quit if we ever hit the big one. One guy on the crew swore he would wait until he was on the night shift, when he could sneak into the unoccupied office area and proceed to take a dump on top of the department heads desk. Then stick his photo ID badge in it so nobody else would get blamed. Then leave and get on with his early retirement. Sadly we never hit the big one but I knew that guy and I have no doubt he would have actually done it if we ever won.

Knew a guy once that said if he hit the lottery big time, he would buy the company he worked for and make his buddies rich shareholders. Someone said it probably would be not for sale...he responded "Say what?"

My last day as a controller was pre-planned, only the head of personnel and I knew it. Came in early and yakked at airplanes for an hour or so then got a break. Coffee time, and oh yeah, need to sign the papers for retirement.

Back to the coffee shop. About 30 minutes later my supervisor paged me and I ignored it. My peers were puzzled so I let them in on the play. I'd had two super's in my years that were buttheads and my last one was a 5 star dick. I let him page me another half dozen times, his frustration becoming more obvious each time.

Finally got off my butt and strolled into the radar room and as soon as he saw me he vented with great energy. I tossed my ID badge on the desk in front of him and said "I don't work here anymore."

Waved farewell to the gang working the traffic and as I walked away they gave me a standing ovation.



I am..........disturbed.

When I worked in the solder plant, we had a cadre of big burly guys. I was one of them. When it came time to show someone the edge of the parking lot, they'd grab a couple of us and escort the fellow to his vehicle. I don't remember ever seeing or hearing of the trouble, but I was told that the custom had arisen for a reason. I volunteered for my own boss and a co-worker that were both laid off.

I always tried never to make a fuss about leaving. Because of my job in IT, it's usually not a good idea to leave people to wait out the 2 weeks. You're sent packing right away. When the time came, I always tried to make it cordial, no matter what the circumstances. Cincinnati is a small market. Folks talk. Doing a swan song is not a good idea.

I got laid off in 2007 when my entire division was cut. Business is business, nothing personal. Got a nice severance, left on good terms. Got hired back in 2008 making 40% more than I did when I left.

I’m not a bridge burner.

Dess: That is a good one - just this last week I got a private E-mail titled "The Baggage Handlers Last Day At Work"!
The link in the E-mail to a video showed a huge pink colored ddildo standing upright on a huge set of "balls" coming as the first item on a baggage conveyor belt and said ddildo and balls made the complete circuit in front of about 150 snickering and laughing airline customers!
I wish I could link it here - if anyone wants to see this hilarious video I know I can E-mail it to you.
Yeah classy move on the baggage handlers last day!
He-he.

Building the dam at Lost Creek Lake in So. Ore., I worked on a big dragline that got drowned. The operator got canned, socked the bucket into the pond bottom, knuckled the friction in, released the travel locks, stepped out of the machine with his Stanley thermos..and said, "She's all yours". It pulled itself into the pond. I heard later, the insurance company pushed for and got him jail time. Right or wrong, you gotta say he got points for style.


Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.
