What's the Number One job that takes more hours to train than becoming a cop?

I don't want to brag, but I'm a huge fan of the Rochester Police. I know some of Rochester's Finest. They're awesome folks. Great people. Hard working.

Know what? They see people like you and me at our worst moment. On our worst day.

Kinda makes me wonder, do we ask too much? Do we have kinda high expectations?

    Barber

    I miss getting my hair cut. Either I go Britney Spears or Demi Moore with the electric razor when I get too "shaggy" or I use my straight razor for a trim. But, boy, back in the day, it was sport and politics at Floyd's. I read National Geographic there, Archie. Some of the magazines I could only look at the covers to. That was when I put on my big boy pants and walked there from home. Mom and Dad never took me. I took myself there. It was across the street from my high school. Charlotte, NC cops need 900 hours training. It takes 1,500 hours to become a licensed barber. Including that class on team spirit.
