Homeless
 
I talked to a homeless man this morning and asked him how he ended up this way.
He said, "Up until last week, I still had it all. I had plenty to eat, my clothes were washed
and pressed, I had a roof over my head, I had HDTV and Internet, and I went to the gym, the pool, and the library. "I was working on my MBA on-line. I had no bills and no debt. I even had full medical coverage."
I felt sorry for him, so I asked, "What happened? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce?"
"Oh no, nothing like that," he said. "No, no.... I was paroled."

Few prisons have anything like a pool unless you are in minimal security white collar prison probably in some Scandinavian country.

Not even the Federal country club prisons have it all that good. No internet, monitored phones, medical is a joke. Dental is pathetic. Try volunteering at a prison and seeing the realities.

"JUST FOR FUN"

Actually much funnier than many other "fun" posts.

Hey. Take it easy. It's a joke . . . and pretty funny, too!

OK - I admit it - you had me - and yes, it was just a joke.

Kind of a poor one. Just my opinion.
