the first 48

For those who have not seen it 'the first 48' is an A&E show that follows detectives in the first critical 48 hours after a murder. They have filmed in several cities including Miami and Memphis.

The other day I watched an episode filmed in Memphis. The detectives were tracking down a suspect for most of the day when they received a call of where he is hiding. Do they immediately jump into action? Nope. The woman in charge of the case instead takes out her make up case and freshens up. Then she uses a curling iron to get her hair did. She tells us viewers at home that she needs to look good when she is out on the field. She says that and I would like to quote her at this point she needs to 'represent.'

There are some really important lessons here kids...if you want to murder someone do it in Memphis it will give you an extra few minutes to escape. If are getting murdered don't let it happen in Memphis. There is a good chance the murderer will escape because the lead detective has to go back to 201 to turn off her curling iron.
