Our Ottawa Police Services Board sent out a press release late in the day before the Christmas break for a volunteer member of the club when everyone couldn’t care less, so guess what?

They’re still looking for a volunteer club member.

You probably want to know why this happened? We explain this (as we often do) by way of a Top 10 list.

Top 10 Reasons The Police Services Board Can’t Find A Volunteer Member:
10. Donald Trump was busy;
9. Candidate Poilievre too liberal;
8. None of the applicants drove a truck;
7. All candidates had a spine;
6. “Police oversight? … take that joke to Yuk Yuk’s”;
5. Vote right mista or yooz sleepin’ wit da fishes like yuz main man Jimmy Hoffa;
4. All applicants nixed because they backed freedom of speech;
3. No training in puppetry;
2. Meetings conflicted with bowling night;
1. Why did we toss that Putin guy? He was OK.
