Cop Eats 13 Doughnuts In 3 Minutes To Win Contest

ELKHORN-Three minutes. Thirteen doughnuts.

Think you could chow down that many morning morsels in that little time?

Walworth County Jail Training Sgt. Howard Sawyers didn't think he could, either, but he did. In doing so, he earned the title of world champion doughnut-eating cop.

"The secret for eating doughnuts is dunking them in water," said Sawyers, who finished third in the competition last year. "You do a semi-circle of water cups half to three-quarters full. You rip 'em, you dunk them and you shove. And you do that as fast as you can for three minutes."

2. Way to promote a stereotype! (Not you, of course. The cop.)

What's next, a fried chicken and watermelon eating contest for African-Americans?

7. That's seriously fucked up. But enlighten the furrinah here...

Why does the racist stereotype use watermelon and not some other fruit? What's so "low-class" about eating fruit anyway?

11. Because watermelon is of southern African origin...

and so its consumption was already a part of the culture of the Africans enslaved and brought to North America in the 1600's and 1700's, I'd guess. (And it's possible that it was African slaves who introduced watermelon to North America, although it had been cultivated in Europe from the 1300's or so.)

3. Sort of reminds me of the movie "Raising Arizon"

When the bounty hunter told Nathan Arizona that if you want to find a doughnut shop call a cop.

5. Oh good he is a Training Sgt.

Now there is some taxpayer money well spent!

6. I like his attitude though

He came in third last year. Lots of people would have been happy with the bronze. But not him! He obviously undertook a rigid training regimen and it paid off! USA! USA! USA!
