I missed part of his introduction, and when he sauntered in I thought, "I bet this guy is a cop... he walks like a cop." Then I rewound and laughed. How does someone know someone's a cop by the way they walk? I crack myself up sometimes.

Pretty nasty question for a level 8, with Russia up there as a distractor. For those people who have even heard of the former Soviet republic, that would be a natural guess.
