Prison humour:

We'd like to bring up some of these differences
at the Civil Treatment training session.

The difference between prison and work

Just in case you ever got the two mixed up, this should make things a bit more clear: ([...] inserted by me, the website holder)

IN PRISON you spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 ft cell. AT WORK you spend the majority of your time in a 6x8 ft cubicle.

IN PRISON you get three [free] 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 behaviour. AT WORK you get more work for good behaviour.

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 it with some idiot who pees on the seat.

IN PRISON they allow your family and friends to visit. AT WORK you can't even speak to your family.

IN PRISON the tax payers pay all expenses 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 out. AT WORK you spend most of your time wanting out to go inside bars.

IN PRISON you must deal with sadistic wardens. AT WORK they are called managers. [Well, why are they called managers? Because there are man-agers, i.e. people that make people look old through unhealthy work.]

So why is it, again, that we work?
