Now you may think they're just playing a joke or acting a little weird, but no. It never amounts to anything good. We find it's usually just the tip of the iceberg with these people.\\

* The Donut Shop from "Morning Patrol". There is just something strangely hilarious about DOZENS of armed civil protection officers all crowding in The Donut Shop, with about ten regular citizens to boot. The counter is staffed by vortigaunts, and even the transhuman Overwatch Soldiers, even the ones manning the hunter-chopper, come to the shop.
** And the classical music that plays during this scene just solidifies the mood.

** Dave and Mike are on a patrol path that crosses over a train track, so Dave decides to go train surfing. Despite Mike's protests that it will not end well, he sticks a landing on top of a passing train and then enjoys a ride all the way to the water canal (which players of HL2 will recognize from an early chapter of the game). After Dave returns unharmed from his train ride, Mike finally agrees to join him for the next one. When they jump, Dave again lands on top without a problem, but Mike hits the edge of the car and immediately falls off. Dave then gets knocked off by the overpass while looking back.
