Yesterday's frivolous blog entry generated a somewhat unexpected response
Some 18 readers have admitted in kissed a policeman (or/woman)
How wonderful.
In my long distant experience, the policeman more or less pushed me up against the wall and kissed me......I didn't do much of the snogging back, and it was all a bit John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara as I remember.
He was all big and butch and had a beard of a lumberjack
and I was flung around like a red headed Colleen
This strange moment happened at the fire exit of the mother and baby unit I worked on in a York psychiatric hospital.
The policeman was bumming a cup of tea from the night staff whilst on his rounds around the grounds.
And I can't really remember how the kiss came about. But I know I must have been flirting
Like a clumsy adolescent Labrador .
And I suspect he wanted to teach me a lesson
I adore Maureen O Hara!!!!! And I more than kissed a police officer...I dated one for a brief time.
ReplyDeleteDo tell
DeleteWell, he pulled me over for running a yellow into red light. But he gave me a warning. About three weeks later I met him at the pub I go too. Talk up a storm and he asked me out. And in the three months he didn't hand cuff me once! Piff…..
DeleteFlirting like an adolescent lab worked, right?
ReplyDeleteHe must have liked the gauche look
DeleteI've kissed a policeman hundreds of times...but it doesn't really count as he's my brother and it was on the cheek.
ReplyDeleteThat policeman who snogged you so violently sounds as though he was very masterful and daring! Or else he was absolutely gasping for that cuppa...
I think he was just being a devil and wanted to shock me
DeleteThat would have scared the shit out of me.
ReplyDeleteOf course it would but i hope you would nt have flirted in the first place
DeleteI used to wrong-foot the police by coming on all effeminate when I was young. It would have backfired on me badly in this situation.
DeleteSqueal like a pig
DeleteIt never got as far as that.
DeleteI think that was the film 'The Quiet Man'; John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara were a good acting partnership. She was absolutely beautiful and apparently a really genuinely nice woman. No, I haven't kissed a policeman.
ReplyDeleteYes I've always liked good old Maureen
DeleteIf only snogability and reliability always went together.(I'm not referring to you, of course!)
ReplyDeleteI'm both snogable and reliable
DeleteEveryone should get quietman kissed at least once.
ReplyDeleteI've known you so many years and never have I looked at you and thought Maureen O'Hara....
ReplyDeleteGerald O'Hara perhaps?
DeleteA motorcycle policeman kissed me,long long ago , in San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteIt was memorable.
The survey numbers are rising
DeleteAh, Maureen O'Hara. She used to swordfight with the boys (in her films) and beat them. Good ol' Maureen.
ReplyDeleteWelcome Paul,
DeleteShe always seemed a genuiningly nice lady to me
I once spun my car 180* on an icy street and ended up with the car aimed the direction I had intended to drive. When I looked around (no doubt with my mouth open in surprise) a policeman in a stopped police car headed the other way smiled and waved at me. I waved back and drove away carefully.
ReplyDeleteLove The Quiet Man!
Hugs!
Opps! Make that 360* as my car spun a complete circle and hit nothing except the curb. My defense for the math error is lack of coffee. :)
DeleteI once was stopped by the police in a traffic jam with my Welsh terrier finlay on my knee with his feet on the steering wheel .
DeleteHe asked if he had passed his test
Had he?! What was your answer?
DeleteHugs!
No, he can't reach the peddles
DeleteBrilliant reply, kind sir!
DeleteWell, yes, he was an undercover cop and, it’s a long story.
ReplyDeleteUndercover ? How very exciting
DeleteOh come on, you have to tell us!
DeleteSome stories should be kept to ourselves. It is a good one though and I was young and innocent, well, somewhat innocent.
DeleteYou took away all the romance!
ReplyDeleteBut did I inject a bit of smut?
DeleteYou kind of got me slightly hot and bothered with that description, dear.
ReplyDeleteBig and butch is my cup of tea.
XoXo
Mine too...sadly there are not many around
DeleteHard to imagine a cop w a beard like a lumberjack, esp 30 years ago! I think you have a wonderful fantasy going here.
ReplyDeleteThe beard gets bigger over the years of telling
Delete'A clumsy adolescent Labrador' -- that is so perfectly descriptive!
ReplyDeleteOh I agree! A big sweet oafish dog sloppy kisses and all💕
DeleteI was very gauche
DeleteI just love that image of a flirting, clumsy, adolescent labrador John.
ReplyDeleteDid he have a gun in his pocket?
ReplyDeleteNot even a tazer
DeleteActually, the big sweet oafish dog, sloppy kisses and all description by Candice kind of suits you anyway...totally my kind of dog... now I know why I love you and your blog to bits. Have a sloppy kisses kind of week :)
ReplyDeleteJo in Auckland
The only people I've dated in 'uniform' have been fellow restaurant & bar workers. :D
ReplyDeleteWell that's fine
DeleteMuch much much better than a nazi
I never kissed a cop that I know of, but who knows? I didn't always ask what someone did for a living.
ReplyDeleteThat GIF at the top of this post, reminded me of a recent biography of John Wayne. A reporter from The Advocate, an LGBTQ magazine, once asked the Duke his opinion of gay rights. Wayne was caught off-guard by the question and gave a rambling answer, basically saying what you do behind closed doors is one thing but don't go flaunting it in public. Not the most tolerant, open-minded, gay-friendly answer in the world, but coming from the man who often presented himself as a right-winger's right-winger, it was down right enlightened!
when he was in Hollywood the industry was filled with closet gays,,, I guess he was used to it
DeleteOh yes I have been kissed by a policeman.....was married to him for 23 years....and divorced after he decided kissing some one else was in his plans.....mardy 🇨🇦
ReplyDeleteMy answer is the same as above (mardy), only difference was, it happened after 7 years
ReplyDeleteHazel
Working in Accident and Emergency in my part of Australia on New Year's Eve and it is rampant... Worse still was the head injury ward. It operated on 24 hour admissions and it was full of PAFOs (p***** and fell over) and those people would be so uninhibited my alcohol and?or drugs.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure. I lost count of the men I've kissed and other things, some of whom I don't even know their names let alone their jobs. I'd be more surprised if a policeman WASN'T among them. I was wild in the 80s and 90s. Not these days!! I do remember among them were someone heading off to VSA, a former Mr NZ, a journalist, a photographer and a motorbike racer. No memorable for other reasons necessarily...except the photographer!
