On a flight getting ready to depart for Detroit ...I think I first heard it as Northern Ireland and Guinness truck...
Jack was sitting on the plane when a guy took the seat beside him. The guy was an emotional wreck, pale, hands shaking, moaning in fear. "What's the matter?" Jack asked.
"I've been transferred to Detroit , there's crazy people there. They've got lots of shootings, gangs, race riots, drugs, poor public schools, and the highest crime rate."
Jack replied, "I've lived in Detroit all my life. It's not as bad as the media says. Find a nice home, go to work, mind your own business, enroll your kids in a nice private school. It's as safe a place as anywhere in the world."
The guy relaxed and stopped shaking and said, "Oh, thank you. I've been worried to death. But if you live there and say it's OK, I'll take your word for it. What do you do for a living?"
"Me?" said Jack . "I'm a tail gunner on a Budweiser truck."
That is all.

Robocop was actually a prediction of the future!
Another variant I've heard is "Door gunner on a school bus."
Let me know when there's a Seretech decision.
(For those who aren't maladapted geeks: in the Shadowrun world, the Seretech decision made it legal for businesses and corporations to defend themselves much as individuals would. Kind of a Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground ruling for corporations rather than persons)
