Predictable buffalos

Saturday night I was downtown with some friends/new people that I had never met before. A few of the people in the group were from out of town, and so we decided to walk around our downtown area showing the "scenic" views of downtown. One of the greatest features of our downtown is not the skyline, or the beautiful riverwalk, or even the beautiful Bricktown area, but rather these lovely metal/tin statues of buffalos that are liberally "sprinkled" around the area. Yes, welcome to Oklahoma. We have tin buffalos in our capital city.

Anyways, one of the visiting girls sees one of those tin buffalos, and she goes running up to it and is playing around and posing for a picture. Suddenly, we hear this deep voice coming through loudspeakers, and he just says one line "That's very predictable."
We all burst out laughing when we realized he is referring to this girl posing with the buffalo, and even funnier was when we realized who was talking to us. It was a cop! He was sitting in his squad car off to the side and we hadn’t noticed him, but I guess he had been watching people take pictures with that buffalo all night and was getting pretty bored with it all.

We decided we better move on rather quickly since the cop was obviously watching our every move, but we laughed at the absurdity of it for quite a while.
