(I already used cop, but I just can't help posting this one. )

It was about the same time that I noticed the cord hanging out of the pickle,
that a four foot cop arrived with a five foot gun,
a cop that at one time must have been around six foot three,
but was met at the bottom of a mountain by a flyin', singing, writtin', wierdo freak.

So, if Fred uses "abrogado," does that also mean "lawyer" is used?

To prevent this round from going forever, I think I should employ a restriction a la What's My Line? and say an occupation means they are salaried or self-employed. This restriction will start tomorrow, so if you've been holding onto one that doesn't fit the new guidelines, play it now.
