The officer is staring right at you too. I wonder what he was thinking. heh

That picture is neither an expression, utterance or literary work.

I found it quite amusing. While I don't call police officers "pigs", I can still appreciate the joke.

That expression, by itself, is just that: an expression. However, you need the entire picture to communicate the humorous (and, according to you, ironic) nature of the entire situation. :D

i think, if you wanted to argue semantics, you could be proven wrong about that.
go look up what an "expression" is.
besides, one source for definition does not a word make
 

Honestly though, to get back on topic - if you were a cop, what in your mind would make you think, "Yum, that "Bacon Fried Bacon" stand suuuuuuuuure looks good?"

Honestly - they're just setting themselves up to get laughed at.

you have like a half argument there. they're going up to eat bacon, which, i suppose, does not draw a definite conclusion, but you get the point right? :p

i guess if they were doing something with the bacon, like um... arresting it or something, then it would be complete.

Perhaps one of their cop buddies is working in the stand:Q
