Many years ago, jwg and I read in the Gloucester Daily Times that the Gloucester police department was hiring teddy bears for similar work. Teddy (the senior non-human member of our household) considered applying for the job, but we dissuaded him by pointing out that it was likely to result in permanent reassignment.

Aaaand what kind of "teddy bears" were they hiring? ... Well, actually, "many years ago" it'd have to've been the toy kind, ¿sí?

(Why yes, I do enjoy typing contractions. Why do you ask?)

Ya know, I bet there are a pair of MASSFILCers in North Cambridge who would get a kick out of this.

Not to mention several teddy bears in North Cambridge, too!
