When returning to jail from our work release program the other day, about ten of us stood in line waiting to be strip searched. Most held their clothes, dressed only in their boxers, which they would remove, turn around, and quickly put back on. I felt the place needed a good laugh, and this guard had a sense of humor, so when it was my turn, I was already naked. Jumping up and down with my hands in the air, I tossed my uniform on the table, danced around in a circle if front of the guard, showing him I had no hidden contraband, humming a little "dee-tee-dee-dee-dee" tune as I went. The guard laughed as he ordered me to get my clothes and get dressed. The rest of the guys in line could hardly keep their composure. Hey, sometimes you need a good laugh in the "Big House."

Last night I ate pretty near a half box of chocolate covered macadamia nuts. That's pretty nutty.
