Reminds me of the time many decades ago when I spent a school holiday
with a mate at his place in PNG. His old man was a very VIP in
Rabaul, so a lot of things around the place got done by "public
servants". The ones that really impressed me were those wandering
freely around the garden "mowing" the lawn with bloody great
machetes. When I asked who they were, I was told they were from the
local jail -- and most of them were in jail for murder! (To be fair,
I suspect that was about the only indigenous crime the patrol officers
thought worthy of intervention and "justice" at that time. :-)

Cheers, Phred.
