The scene: Manny's Deli in Chicago. Steve and I are enjoying big meaty sandwiches, and the police officer who was eating next to us stands up to put his tray away. I notice his gun.

ME: Is it weird that every time I'm near a cop and I see his gun, I automatically wonder about pulling it out of his holster?

STEVE: No.

ME: How come?

STEVE: Because everybody thinks that.
