In honor of by brother's retirement from the police force, my sister-in-law decided to throw a surprise party for him. Plans were made in secrecy over a two-month period, including catering and entertainment decisions as well as travel accommodations for over 100 friends and relatives from around the country. At the party, my brother stood up to address the guests. As he looked around the room at everyone who had secretly gathered on his behalf, he shook his head and said, "After 25 years on the police force, I finally know why I never made detective."
