In our coverage of police related stories, this one is a bit odd. Police officers in Indonesia’s Papua now must be politically and anatomically correct. Faced with problems associated with local measures of male personal enhancement, the department is following the global business model of downsizing.
Each new applicant will be asked “whether or not his vital organ has been enlarged.” Local enhancements, including the wearing of gourds and the use of a type of itching powder (you will have to read the article) have proven “hindrance during training.”

Such a shame! Now the poor women of Papua will have to get by with gourdless policemen in their hour of need.
I’d like to know what that “hindrance during training” is. Do you suppose the applicants have a hard time running? (No double-entendre intended.)
