Captain Brilliant then decided since he was invulnerable, he would &#8220;scuffle with the police&#8221;. Needless to say, hijinks ensued. The final score : Police = 1 | Sherman Williams = 0 [<a href=\"http:\/\/www.military.com\/entertainment\/offbeat\/wyoming-man-douses-himself-in-paint-to-avoid-taser?ESRC=soldiertech.nl\">MILITARY.COM<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p>* Hands only CPR is the way to save lives now? Apparently keeping blood going to the brain &gt; breathing. Plus you actually don&#8217;t have to trade saliva with a bleedy-hurty stranger.

A coupla&#8217; good SMACKS on the butt with a old splintery wood paddle from a principal who&#8217;s had a real bad day. That seems to make &#8220;inattentive&#8221; children behave better, too!
