It's a more complex variant of the old good cop, bad cop routine used to get information out of jumpy informants. You start with two guys working together, asking a lot of questions, making heavy implications and vague threats, but about some totally unrelated crime. They get the informant off balance and then the third guy walks in late and tosses up easy questions about the crime they're actually trying to learn about. Half the time the answers spill out before he even realizes.Someone tell me what a three-sided pigeon skirt is?
Now I overheard a guy earlier. . . what does it mean to 'burn the yardstick'?
