My folks who are RNs and cops say they HATE to work during the full moon. One brother said that when he had arrested a druggy, patted him down and stuffed him into the car, a wide eyed old lady clutched her purse close and inched closer to him and asked him if he was an officer of the law. DB said of course and stuck out his chest to show the badge, and the old lady grabbed his wrist in her teeth and hung on like a Pit Bull!!! He said he couldn't back hand an old lady who looked like his Grandma, so had to pry her jaws open. She calmly turned away and walked off with no other words. When he could get his partner to stop sniggering, whooping and wheezing for breath, he went to put on some alcohol on the slight cut, just in case she had poisoned him!!!
The scientists claim all this is bunk, but a lot of cops and nurses don't like full moons at all, even more when they happen on a Friday after payday!!
