Am I the only one
Am I the only one who finds it mildly disturbing that every time one of the investigators on one of those hourlong TV dramas like CSI, Law & Order, or Third Watch encounters a crime scene they have to make a clever quip?
Investigator One: "This particular individual was found lynched and then gutted."
Main Character Investigator: "Well there's no sense 'hanging around'. Let's get him back to the lab."
Investigator: "Little Johnny here played guitar for a local death metal band. We found him on the tour bus with 8 grams of crack, a sawed-off shotgun, and his guitar."
Main Character Investigator: "That's what happens when Johnny doesn't 'B Goode'."
Investigator: "This woman was a magician's assistant who was apparently killed during a sword-swallowing trick."
Main Character Investigator: "I guess for his last trick of the night he made her life disappear."
Somehow, as sarcastic as I am, I can't imagine encountering a gruesome crime scene and engaging my partner in some good natured ribbing. But I guess when you can always find the culprit in less than 60 minutes minus a few commercial breaks, you can get away with a little more.
