This morning I was sitting on a park bench next to a homeless man. I started a conversation by asking 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 TV 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. "I got out of prison."

A couple of problems, inmates don't have internet & don't know of any prisons with a pool, other than that nice joke. :0074:0008

3) Has anyone ever came up to you on a park bench and asked stupid questions? I haven't sat down on a park bench in years

You must be special. Half the inmates in California have cell phones, or access to one. How do they get them? Corrections Officers bring them in.

Never said I was special wise guy. Yeah, like any large business you will get bad staff, but not just officers, nurses, counselors, volunteers etc. Will lug contraband.
