Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Cops are the people who see and hear it all. They work at one of the world's most dangerous jobs, but it's also one of the most entertaining. When their lives are at risk¿and even when they aren't¿cops encounter constant weirdness and stupidity in human behavior. The Funniest Cop Stories Ever collects the strangest, most amusing stories about stupid crooks, bungled crimes, and station-house banter. A true look at what life is like behind the badge, the tales in The Funniest Cop Stories Ever were collected by real-life ex-New York City policeman Scott Baker and coauthor Tom Philbin. Anecdotes are told by the real-life cops who experienced them and include:

A foot chase after a dwarf who karate-kicked his girlfriend's door and assaulted her while wearing a tuxedo and carrying a violin case.

A beggar who ended people's pay phone calls so he could demand their extra spare change.

A narcotics bust on a guy who claimed the crack cocaine¿and his pants¿didn't belong to him.

About the Author
Tom Philbin is the author of Andrews McMeel's The Irish 100.

Scott Baker is an ex-New York City policeman.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun, fast read, January 28, 2008
By SugarCaneJane (Studio City, CA) - See all my reviews
The stories are broken up in a way that would make it great reading while you are waiting -- at an airport or dr. office -- each story only takes a minute or two to read.

This was a funny, fast read. Some of the stories were better than others, but on the whole, I really enjoyed this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Christmas Gift, January 16, 2007
I gave this book to my Dad as a Christmas Gift. He told me that he really liked the book. As a retired Policeman, he said that he could relate to the stories, and even has a few of his own. Based on his feedback, I recommend it.
