Cops hate jokes

The police have no sense of humor. I was in a situation involving cops in which i was totally innocent. I figured since i was clean, I should try to lighten the mood. The police did not approve. Pot and scales were found at a residence i happened to be at. A police officer commented that there must have been drug dealing since there was a scale. Seeing the opportunity to calm everybody down, i decided to chime in with, "maybe somebody was just on weight watchers." The cops did not laugh. They just got upset. I personally thought it was a good joke. In another instance, i jokingly asked for a beer and a cigarette. This came about because they were accusing me of drinking. They would not give me a breathalyser or blood test but i was asking for whatever I could to prove my innocence since i had not in any way broken any laws. After being falsely accused, a said, "Since you think I have been drinking, you might as well give a beer to prove yourself right. At least give me a cigarette, this situation is pretty stressful." Well apparently this joke did not go over well at all. The cops just got mad more than anything else. Well f*** them then. I got off for being 100% innocent, and they just had another bad day of another bad life. Nobody wants to be a cop, except apparently those who hate jokes do. So continue being miserable cops, i will continue following your rules, while making jokes along the way.
