It's actually lovely. You must have read the damn book we're talking about. I read the book, okay. We not only changed. See, I actually accomplished something as parking traffic commissioner. We changed the name from meter maid to parking control office. And then we did parking control officer of the month. Did you give them guns? They don't have guns. Yeah, yeah. No. That's why they're the least respected cops. (05:01–05:04)
