Do As I Say, Not As I Do

Has your mother of father ever been like this, do as I say not as I do? Or if it wasn't your parents, it could have been someone else like that. We've all known people like that. Usually from this person acting like that, no good came from it. But in Utah, anything can happen. Actually I don't know about that, I've never been to Utah.

Back to what I was saying about Utah. A mayor running for re-election in Utah wanted to stop or at least lessen the crimes in the streets of his city. But guess what came knocking at his doorstep? Of course it was crime. A man had broken into his house in the wee hours of the morning. The mayor heard the ruckus and wrestled the burglar into a headlock. The burglar was then aprehended by police later on when they came to the mayor's house. Did I mention the mayor was a little guy, about 5'6", 135 lbs? Makes me happy because the mayor is only a little smaller than me.

So after that big episode, the mayor told the city's population about the incident. He told everyone to not deal with burglars by themselves like he did, but let the police deal with it. That is about the only reason I wouldn't be bothered by the "do as I say, not as I do" concept. Plus I would vote for that guy, he had taken down a man that was almost 30 or 40 lbs heavier than he was!
