M: Excuse me, officer. Val: Oh, hi there, buddy. How can I help you? M: Well… I was just wondering if it'd be OK for me to take a selfie with you? Val: I'm so--- sorry, kiddo. It's actually illegal to take a picture of police officers or their vehicles in France. M: But I thought you were an International Police Officer, not a French officer. Val: You're darned tootin'. I work for the International Culture Cops. However, since we're in France we have to obey their laws. That means no photos together. M: Oh man, OK. Maybe if I ever run into you in another country again… Val: You got it, man. Sounds
