Business Humour: Prison vs Work
A prisoner spends most of his time in an 8 foot by 10 foot cell. I spend mine trapped behind a desk.Prison cells are equipped with beds. All I have is this uncomfortable chair.
A prisoner gets three meals a day. I only get one and I have to pay for it.
A prisoner may have their sentence reduced for good behaviour. All good haviour gets me is more work.
A prisoner is told how to dress but that clothing is provided free. I am told how to dress but I must buy my own clothes.
In prison, a guard unlocks and opens the doors for a prisoner. At work I have to carry a security card and unlock and open doors myself.
A prisoner can watch TV and play games. If I did that, I´d be fired.
A prisoner is given the time to study, or train for a new career. I have to do that on my own time.
If a prisoner falls asleep on the job, nothing happens. If I fall asleep I get sacked.
A prisoner has their own toilet in their cell. At work I have to share the toilet with others.
A prisoner can receive visits from family and friends. At work they frown on my even talking to my family and friends.
Prisoners spend their time behind bars wanting to get out. I spend my time wanting to get out and into bars !
