constabulary quotes

  •    When a felon's not engaged in his employment Or maturing his felonious little plans His capacity for innocent enjoyment Is just as great as any honest man's Ah! When constabulary duty's to be done A policeman's lot is not a happy one.

    - Sir W(illiam) S(chwenck) Gilbert
      Sergeant's song, The Pirates of Penzance, act 2.
