Today at work one of our guys announced he was changing careers and leaving to become a police officer in Pittsburgh. I immediately responded, "You're going to meet Ben Roethlisberger!"
A job is a job.. of course I'm sure that if someone offered you a million dollars to move to Pittsburgh for a week you'd decline on the basis of football..

Pittsburgh actually isn't too bad. Some roads kind of suck, but overall it's not as bad as people think.

Just a ton of traffic. So. Much. Traffic.
Have to disagree strongly. That place is a maze of roads where GPS works only when it wants to... and that isn't too often. Suck-city if you ask me through and through.

Dude, don't listen to them. This is hilarious. I bet that guy was standing there thinking, "well there's the egg all over my face for taking this job". LOLOLOLOL!!!
Not only is this gut busting funny but it is painfully true! I hope Ben doesn't ask this guy to "fix his tv" in his prison cell! LOLOLOLOL!
Look at me trying to make jokes when the reality is I can't stop laughing at your joke!! I'm a fool to even try!! LOLOLOLOL!

True, true. I mostly stay towards the South Side area and sometimes travel out towards Oakland.
Then again, it's probably because I'm so used to it by now.
Hate traffic? Stay out of the greater Dallas area.. The freeways are horrific. If you try to go the posted speed limit you'll either get hit from behind or run over the person in front of you. It goes like 106mph to zero and sitting still right back to 106 back to zero all within a half a mile.. When traffic backs up people usually just drive right off the road over fences and even railroad tracks.. Yes, I did see someone do that.. And don't forget all those wonderful exploding gasoline trucks that get hit by drunk drivers going the wrong way on the freeway.. I lived half a block from one when the entire bridge had to be rebuilt after the gas truck burned.. Fun times!
The cops in Pittsburgh are all very nice. I've had some good run-ins with a few of them, never breaking the law of course, but good run-ins nonetheless. I hope the guy gets in the gym regularly because the officers here are really serious about fitness and looking good. Which is good. Nothing like a nice fit cop to make you feel safe.
