    IN PRISON...you spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell. AT WORK...you spend most 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 have to pay for it. IN PRISON...you get time off for good behavior. AT WORK...you get rewarded for good behavior with more work. IN PRISON...a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you. AT WORK...you must carry around a security card and unlock and open all the doors 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. IN PRISON...they allow your family and friends to visit. AT WORK...you cannot even speak to your family and friends. IN PRISON...all expenses are paid by 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 looking through bars from the inside wanting to get out. AT WORK...you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars. IN PRISON...there are wardens who are often sadistic. AT WORK...the wardens are called managers.

                  That is stupid humor! Really it is. But that makes you stop and think. If prisons were safer... like if they had "nice guy only" prisons. I'd try like hell to get my whole family locked up for life. That is such a simplistic view. I love it.

                  yeah, such "comparisons" usually are. But it's kinda funny in a scary way to think of the "similarities"...

                      You're right. I'd say I got it backwards, but you might think I was talking about prison.

                              In so doing it would appear you took the bullet with my name on it. I wonder if the 1.0 voters know who I really am... They should be fearful and reverant but I doubt it's within them to fathom my capacity for danger. Where's the dangermouse music when you need it? Where's penfold? What was the villains name they were always after... dang why can't I remember that...

                                      research on your own time! become an expert in all related subjects, on your own time, and keep up to date on all technologies related to your profession, on your own time! And in your free time.... keep up to date with everything else.... :doh:
