.... gave me a chance to show my parents I was actually doing something productive in school.) They placed the hand-cuffs on me and read me my rights. I have to admit the whole thing was quite funny, but I would never want it to happen in a real situation. The cuffs where killing me, but I took it like a man.

.... high fish consumption. The validity of the above accusation is easily measured. With the collapse of the Canadian cod stock, it would be natural to expect the seal population to plummet, if in fact they were devouring as much cod as is claimed.
