Not that I want to hijack Paul's thread or anything, but is that why
cops were called Fuzz?

I could never figure that one out, because when I first heard the term
as a kid in the 60's, I always thought of it as a Hippy term.  I
always thought it ironic (except that I didn't know what irony was
back then), as it seemed to me that the Hippies were pretty fuzzy, but
the police didn't seem especially so...
