Criminal Justice, Friday, Period 1
"We're combining some recent classes this week, but the end result won't be as exciting as you might hope," Batman said. The Danger Shop was once again a city, and there were cars once again. "One of most important parts of police work is having patience. That applies to finding the right piece of evidence, of course, and being able to maintain your cool so that you don't cross any lines."
"But it also applies to the sheer, boring act of long-term observation. A police stakeout could last hours, sometimes even days. And during that time, you not only have to keep yourself focused, you also have to keep yourself from going mad from not doing anything," Batman explained. "Fortunately, you'll generally have a partner who should be able to help matters, whether it's by talking, getting coffee, or taking watch while you get some rest."
"That's what you're doing today. Sit in one of the cars with a partner and kill time while paying careful attention for whatever might happen. And something will happen."

That's right, a pink gorilla just ran by. Although if you look closely and beyond the fact that it's some dude in a gorilla suit, you'll see him running away from a bank scene with a bag with a dollar sign on it.
This would not be subtle if the pink gorilla were not an adequately weird thing to distract from it.
Once you spot the gorilla, do what you think you should, whether it's getting on the radio, going out to tackle it, or just noting that you don't see too many gorillas these days.
