Trooper Criss Turnipseed of Troop G looks to be having a severe, paralyzing, fast-attacking, no-going-back, nightmarish panic attack! I can hear you asking the question out loud to yourself.  What in the world could have him so torn up?  Could it be that he was driving the trooper car in the background and hit a parked trooper car?  No. Could it be that he saw himself in the reflection of that patrol car?  Well, maybe… Could it be that he discovered that someone keyed his car?  No.  Could it be that he found a spot on his freshly washed and waxed car just seconds before the big troop inspection?  Oh yeah!  Now you can just feel the goose-bumps jumping up on the back of your neck if that was YOUR car in not-so-clean condition before this big event.  Have no fear! As a seasoned member of the Mississippi Highway Patrol, Trooper Turnipseed knew exactly how to save the day and salvage his inspection.  You see, this is where that old adage of “spit shine” came from.  Once upon a time, there was a trooper, just like our Turnipseed, going through an inspection.  He found a spot on his car just after washing it.  This once upon a time trooper had no water around him, so he improvised!  A little spit, a dry rag, some elbow grease, and thus the term “spit shine” was born! Now back to our Trooper Turnipseed.  Just after the panic set in after seeing the tarnished dirty spot, he quickly regained his composure and took care of that little dirty spot leaving a perfect “spit shined” trooper car. Well that’s about all that we can tell you.  Turnipseed did have a perfectly clean car that day, but we’ve never been able to determine from sources close to Troop G if he passed inspection.  If you or anyone you know has information, please pass it on.  And to Trooper Turnipseed, looks like a little panic can make for complete perfection!
