Jayne That there on the right is Jayne from Firefly, here in a screenshot from The Train Job.

The badge on his sleeve shows the parka belonged to a police uniform of Rhineland-Palatinate, the German “state” I live in. I wonder why and/or how that happened.

Jayne of all that crew… XD


Female police officers in Paris are not women. Logic says so! Otherwise their being required to wear trousers would be against the law. :D

Some things police deal with are… somewhat weird (old stuff I saved on my delicious account):

Was your state on the East German side of the border prior to reunification? If so, one explanation might be that the parka was imported to the United States after the breakup of the Soviet Union. There were a lot of Warsaw Pact national uniforms flooding our Surplus shops in the late 80's, as importers bought up the obsolete uniforms for cheap.

From there it would be easy for one of Firefly's costumers to find one. It's obviously functional, slightly exotic looking and no one except a anal-rententive fan German would recognize the patch.

Nope, you can't get much further west, we share stretches of border with France, Luxembourg and Belgium. :)
