A long cold open. I found a letter I had written to my bank to describe the frustration my wife and I suffered while trying to correct an error the bank made.
Doing Time, She Didn't See That Coming

I told about a piece I spotted on Facebook about a fellow coming up with a creative way to get police to respond more quickly to a situation that the police, apparently, didn't think was serious enough.

Movie Recommendation (Two-fer!): Stalag 17 (1953) & Bridge On The River Kwai (1957)
Both are WWII prisoner of war movies. Stalag 17 in Europe, while Bridge On The River Kwai is in the Pacific. Stalag 17 is actually a comedy. Both are directed by two of the greatest directors of all time: Billy Wilder and David Lean, respectively. Both also star one of my man-crushes, William Holden. Both are very good.
