Reidsville Police Chief Likes Chinese

This is Reidsville Police Chief Robert Hassell.  He likes Chinese food.

I know this because I met him today...up-close and personal. He was making his second trip to the bar at Super Buffet on Freeway Dr.  I didn't pay any attention to what he had piled on his plate, but I'm guessing he likes the mussels on the half-shell.  You know the ones with something like mayo and a few sprinkles of cheese on top.  Although they are definitely not oysters, some folks call them Reidsville Oysters.

I stopped Chief Hassell on his way back to his table.  I introduced myself as the guy who runs the pornography web site known as www.reidsville.com  Chief Hassell extended his hand and we exchanged pleasantries. 

I told him he was an honest man and said I appreciated his service.  I thanked him for apologizing on WFMY-TV for causing me any "inconvenience" by sending two armed officers to my home to tell me my web site "might be" illegal. 

I mentioned he did not answer my question...whose idea was the police raid on my home which is ten miles outside the Reidsville city limits?  I also noted he displayed an integrity which the Reidsville Mayor so sorely lacks. 

He smiled and said to let him know if I ever need anything.

My lunch date was incredibly embarrassed.  I don't know why.  I shook the Police Chief's hand and thanked him for his honesty and integrity.  She said I said the word "pornography" too loud.  According to her, the entire restaurant went dead silent and stopped when I said "pornography".

As we were leaving Super Buffet, I said "How y'all doin'?" to an entire table full of uniformed Reidsville police officers.  They all smiled, waved, nodded or said hello.  I can only guess Reidsville police travel and dine in packs.

Apparently, I am pretty well known by the Reidsville police, which is really odd, considering I don't have a police record.  I say I don't have a police record.  That's not entirely true...I should say I don't have any convictions.  I do have a record for ASSAULT ON A FEMALE which was filed by a crazy customer who was asked to leave my store for acting like a deranged idiot.  I was quickly found NOT GUILTY.

Anyway, it was nice to finally meet Reidsville Police Chief Hassell.  He seems like a good man.
