OK, this didn't happen IN prison, but it was ABOUT prison, and it was just so funny I thought I would share it here so y'all could have a good laugh along with me...
As some of you know, I work in a doctor's office. Well, in some very weird stroke of irony today... we saw a patient today who just happens to be a CO at a prison somewhere in this general tri-state area. It just so happens, also, that last night I was having some discussion with another PTO member whose husband is incarcerated in that very prison - so I had to laugh at the irony of that!! (Of course I had the pleasure of relating the story to this member, and of course due to HIPPA regulations I couldn't tell her who it was, but still, the irony...) :D
But that's not even the best part. I have to arrange some further tests and he gave me his phone number at work to contact him later, and someone who was with him said this to me, all solemn and concerned:
"Now, don't get upset or freak out when you call that number , 'cos it's a PENITENTIARY...."
LOLOLOLOLOL! :D
I wanted to fall over in the floor laughing but of course I just smiled and said no problem.... if only he knew!!! :D
Like that long-running sticky thread on PTO reads... we (families and loved ones of the incarcerated) are everywhere, in every place and in every walk of life... we might be your neighbors, your waiter, your dentist, etc.... or the little lady who schedules your tests at the doctor's office!! :)
