‘Jelly bellies’ memo costs police chief his job
Posted on Wed 1 Nov 2006 at 3:09 PM PST. Filed under General.
“Police Chief Paul Goward was tired of looking around his department and seeing blubber hanging over the belts of some of his officers. So he sent out a memo exhorting the “jelly bellies” to shape up. In the end, the department lost 190 pounds — all of them belonging to Goward. He was forced out as chief because some of his officers took offense at the memo.”
I am overweight. And if I had such a chief around, I would be very glad. This guy should not have lost his job. He should be given a medal instead.
