Cop Fired Over Penis Party Trick
These days party tricks don’t elicit the same respect they used to. One Australian cop learned this the hard way when he was fired after a penis bottle trick at the precinct’s Christmas party, held in a Chinese restaurant. The officer attached a bottle opener to a piercing on his junk and opened a bottle of beer with it in front of fellow officers and their wives. Someone didn’t think it was that impressive, apparently, since they complained and the officer was terminated. The district’s Police Commissioner stated that he had “lost confidence” in the officer and matters were made worse in that the cop was one of the most senior officers at the celebration.
The officer had been involved in a similar incident at a pub three years earlier and had received counseling over it. (Counseling FAIL.) He stated that colleagues had been encouraging him to expose himself (well, that does happen at every company Christmas party) and that there were no other customers at the restaurant when he went to the bathroom to attach the bottle opener to his penis. He acknowledges that his behaviour was “inappropriate“, but said he did not intend to offend. He commented: “I kicked myself later because something that was meant to be fun turned out to be a lot more serious than that.” Worried about his career? Don’t be. He was just offered a job as a NY bartender. The case continues and the bottle of beer has been detained for questioning.
