I've heard police officers described as being made from some rude and
unpleasant substances, but this is the first time I've read of cops being
made of balsa wood and duct tape. :-)
If you just thought "Say what?", see section 7 in "Elementary Usage" from
our friends Strunk and White:

I am LOL, usually notice such things but missed this one, must go get my
Strunk and White, a book I enjoyed reading for years but have not opened
recently. I want to avoid your having to correct me when I write to the
list.
You just have to love these "journalists" who weren't paying attention in
college writing class.
OK, enough of the language snark; I'll get back to EVs now.
