A few years ago I sold an anecdote to Reader's Digest for the "All In A Day's Work" section. They paid me $400 USD for it and it was published.
Soon after getting mobile on my early morning shift I heard of a bad accident on the outskirts of the city, so I headed to it and I arrived just ahead of a shooter from a competing station.
A cop standing near where I stopped alerted the police down in the ditch "Be aware that the Mike Echo Delta India Alpha has arrived."
After I got my gear out of the car I walked up to him and said "You'd probably be surprised to know that some of us guys in the Mike Echo Delta India Alpha can Sierra Pappa Echo Lima Lima."
He grinned.
