The character was named after that Trigger, as he had a long face

Very sad. First grandad, then uncle Albert, and now Trigger. Lovable characters, all of them.

A local policeman had just finished his shift one cold January evening and was at home with his wife.
"You just won't believe what happened this evening , in all my years on the force I've never seen anything like it."
"What happened dear?"
"I came across two guys down by the canal, one of them was drinking battery acid and the other was eating fireworks!"
"Drinking battery acid and eating fireworks!! What did you do with them?"
"Oh that was easy, I charged one and let the other off."

For a moment I read that differently. What a difference an "f" makes. 
Thanks a million, anyway. I was drinking my tea when I read the punchline. Made a bit of a mess on my desk.

Further to a discussion about WW1 which spilled onto here, the conversation got round to the Colonies, and specifcally the Boston Tea party, which I thought was about us nasty Brits imposing tax on tea imports, well it turns out that I was wrong and the Boston Tea Party occured because us Brits LIFTED the import tax!
I would have a word with my history teacher if she was still around
