Jeri: The sleeping policemen were never aware their pictures were taken. This is the first public airing they have had in 30 years. They are kind of historic, in a way. Your fears, incidentally, are well grounded. The synopsis is indeed literal. You might also be interested in http://www.stephaniepiro.com/fc166.htm which is The Ballad of Chevy Chase. This illustrated a true event in Farmington (NH)back in 1990 involving Chevvy trucks (mudding out on the old tote roads)being pursued by a police sergeant - I still enjoy this one (and sing it to myself occasionly)having been brought up in plain view of the original Chevy Chase on the slopes of the Cheviot Hills.
