Armor Air

I was working off-duty with a buddy of mine, who was having trouble holding a conversation, he was so cooking in the Arizona 102^oF heat. He must have been rashing up under his bullet proof vest, because he kept scratching, sticking his fingers in the edges of it, blowing down his own collar, and trying to lean into the A/C of his cruiser pulling on his tie to dirct the air into his shirt.

It was just another day I was bursting with pride that my own brother had invented the very thing that will solve such a widespread problem all over the world. I carry a few in the trunk just for such occasions, and handed one to my buddy. He inserted it in his collar and turned it on. It worked quickly, and within a minute, he was smiling in contented relief like an ol’ hound dog that had just let one rip.

You bet he’ll be wearing it in front of his friends, and telling them where he got it. If this thing enables more officers to wear their protective vests more often, it’s bound to start saving lives too. There’s nothing more satisfying than bragging about my brother and his invention.
