NOTE FROM JOHN: I remember when I was 7 years old or so watching an episode of Adam 12 or another cop show (ok, got it, it was Dragnet - da duh dum dum), the one with the two really serious detectives, and they arrested some guy who was hiding in a freezer, and the line was "out of freezer and into the cooler." Just made me think about that. :-)
