I like Dunkin' Donuts coffee, too!!

One reason you might not want to be Monmouth Beach Patrolman Jeff Godwin this week: the old, groaner jokes about cops in doughnut shops must be really wearing thin.

But there's a lot of reasons to envy Godwin ... 51,000 of them. Godwin, 25, was one of two nationwide winners (out of 8,000 entries) of the Dunkin' Donuts "Great Lengths" contest, asking people to describe the obstacles they overcame for a cup of the company's coffee. I don' t think my best effort -- putting all the kids in the car on cold or rainy days -- matches Godwin's sneaking out of training exercises at Fort Dix to walk about a mile to a Dunkin' Donuts because the fort's brew just didn't compare.

So Godwin's taking some good-natured ribbing this week But that's fine by him, as his prize is $51,000. He can laugh all the way to the bank. Or the doughnut shop.

I like the cappuchino at Dunkin Donuts--except for the price. :^)
