Prison vs. Work Just in case you ever got these two mixed up, This should make things a bit more clear.... IN PRISON you spend the majority of your time in an 8X10 cell. AT WORK you spend the majority of your time in a 6X8 cubicle. IN PRISON you get three meals a day. AT WORK you only get a break for one meal and you pay for it. IN PRISON you get time off for good behavior. AT WORK you get more work for good behavior. IN PRISON the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you. AT WORK you must carry around a security card and open all the doors for yourself. IN PRISON you can watch TV and play games. AT WORK you get fired for watching TV and playing games. IN PRISON you get your own toilet. AT WORK you have to share with some idiot who pees on the toilet. IN PRISON they allow your family and friends to visit. AT WORK you can't speak to your family. IN PRISON all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required. AT WORK you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners. IN PRISON you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out. AT WORK you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars. IN PRISON you must deal with sadistic wardens. AT WORK they are called managers

Thanks for this, always thought things were a bit backward anyway. It is great to find these things from time to time and put things back into proper perspective. Seems like we should work in a 8 x10 area and be better for it. Thanks again for sharing this.

I wonder if the food is good in prison. Life must be simpler..at least in some ways.

You would consider the food good only if you like molded bolonga or mush. Don't be fooled by the movies hon...it ain't what it is shown to be. Just sit down sometime and get someone who's done time to tell you what it's like in there for real. It's not to much like what your joke is (even though I did find a lot of truth in the work part lmao).

The Bill Clinton, Monica Lewinsky & Ted Kaczyn There once was a gal named Lewinsky Who played on a flute like Stravinsky 'Twas "Hail to the Chief" On this flute made of beef That stole the front page from Kaczynski. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Said Bill Clinton to young Ms. Lewinsky Since you look such a mess, Use the hem of your dress And wipe that stuff off of your chinsky. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Lewinsky and Clinton have shown What Kaczynski must surely have known: That an intern is better Than a bomb in a letter Given the choice to be blown. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There was a young girl called Lewinsky, Who caused as much stir as Kaczynski When on Kenneth Starr's lap She confided, when trapped, "Bill Clinton is hung like Nijinsky." * (*Nijinsky is a thoroughbred racehorse not to be confused with the ballet dancer.)
