( K4 J; I1 N3 I' Z+ g5 {5 [　　 上週六，泰國警方一名發言人對外公佈，泰國警察也許不久就能換上清涼的短袖制服了，泰國政府希望此舉還能幫助警察局節省能源。
　　
3 d* _: }+ E% j, D　　目前，泰國警察只有一套棕色的長袖緊身制服，就算炎炎烈日下在曼谷街頭指揮交通，他們也得穿著這身行頭。
　　
　　據發言人彭薩帕特‧彭查羅恩介紹，泰國國家警察局長捨裡披素‧德米亞威提議將目前的警察制服換成更為輕便的短袖卡其布制服，這樣在街頭執勤的警察就能涼快得多了。
　　
　　據介紹，捨裡披素警長還希望此舉能減少警局辦公室內空調的使用，以節省能源和減少溫室氣體的排放。
　　
　　彭薩帕特說：「關於警察換裝的問題，我們已經討論了很長時間。我們想找到一種既穿著輕便、又適合泰國氣候的服裝。」
　　
　　他說，新制服的審批要經過一個複雜而漫長的過程，而且還需要警察委員會對相關法律做出相應的修改。

　　當地居民喬伊絲‧洛根說，這絕對不是惡作劇，這些火雞可能從附近的一個樹林一直「溜躂」到了位於曼哈頓以東約40英里的長島。洛根說，從今年夏天開始，她就經常聽見從附近的樹林裡傳出火雞「咕咕」叫的聲音。
　　
　　洛根說，火雞們排成整齊的一隊，從她家和鄰居家之間走過，離開了小鎮；之後，洛根又回去為全家準備火雞大餐，不過火雞是從商店裡買的。
