Day of the Bad Guy Do-Gooders

i like this from cat farmer, but you have to keep the species and permissibilities straight while reading. hang in there, because cat helps out at the end with a term change proposal.

Scene: Today; Cat's office. The door bursts open suddenly, and Polly Purecracker dashes in with Dudley DoGood (badge flashing, and fists flailing) close on her heels.

Polly: Help!!! Save me from this maniac!

Dudley: Stop in the name of the law, you vice-infested little bitch!

Cat: (Eyeing female canine and pompous do-good warily) Hold on, you two. What are you doing here, miss, and why did he follow you in here?

Polly: (Frantic) He says I broke the law, and I didn't do anything wrong! I guess I was looking for a place to call the police... (Polly hesitates thoughtfully) but it seems the police are the problem here. Know any respectable criminals I can call for protection from this authoritarian brute?

Dudley: Mobsters?! They specialize in theft, racketeering, and extortion, and terrorize innocent citizens, and you suppose they're going to protect you from decent, civilized lawpersons like me? [more]
