There men were on a bus to prison
where they were allowed to bring only
one personal item. They were telling
each other what they brought.
The first man, being intellectually
minded, said, "I wanted to bring
something that could actually have
a variety of purposes. It needed to be
something that I could not be easily
bored with. So I had a hard choice to
make, between a small radio, a
tiny television set, and a deck of cards.
Knowing that electronic devices
would more than likely not be peritted
personally to an inmate, I decided
upon the cards, so that I can play a
number of games: Gin, Rummy, Solitaire,
Hearts," and continued to name
more games.
The second man said, "I like painting,
and I intend to be the Grandmtoher
Moses of this jail house. I am
going to paint anything that I can. So I
brought my painting supplies."
The third man, a blond, said with a grin,
"I was thoughful enough to bring
a box of Tampons."
Muffled, the other two men questioned
his choice, "What in the hell can
you do with Tampons?"
The man grimaced happily, "Well,
just look here on the box. You can swim,
horseback ride, even skate! I just
can't wait to see how they work!"
