Cops encouraged to go to McDonald's
Police officials insisted that the decision to start the new initiative and the introduction of the McCruller were purely coincidental.
[Cops like to eat donuts. A cruller is a baked good similar enough to a donut that the connection is made.]
"These McRibs will be be safe as long as me and me billy club are here, guv'ner."
[Police officiers in Britain do not carry firearms and talk in a manner sometimes amusing to those used to American English.]
"Let me drive my car on the wrong side of the street over to the McDonald's for a quick meal. I am a policeman."
[In England, people drive on the left, or "wrong" side of the street.]
"Stop, or I'll say stop again!"
[Not a reference to this post, but to the lack of firearms in the British police again. Also some sort of meta-joke about a dead horse.]
