Warning: This has absolutely nothing to do with Tigers, but may relate to
some Tiger owners.
Prison Versus Work
In prison they spend the majority of their time in a 8' x 10' cell.
At work,I spend most of my time in a 6' x 8' pod.
In prison they get three meals a day.
At work I only get a break for one meal and I have to pay for that one.
In prison you get time off for good behavior.
At work I get rewarded for good behavior with more work.
At work I must wear an ID badge at all times.
In prison they provide you with clothing with the ID conveniently sewn
onto the cloths.
In prison there is a dress standard, but they supply the clothes.
At work there is a dress standard but I must buy my own clothes.
At work I must carry around a security card to unlock and open all the
doors myself.
In prison a guard locks and unlocks all the doors for me.
In prison they can watch TV and play games.
At work I can get fired for watching TV and playing games.
In prison they will pay my way through school to learn a new career and
give me time to do it.
At work they will pay for my education but I must do it on my own time.
In prison they have exercise rooms that they allow you to use almost
whenever you want.
At work we have an exercise room that you an use but it must be on
your time.
In prison I can fall asleep on the job and no serious consequences comes
from my actions.
At work if I fall asleep on the job I get put on the next RIF (Reduction
In Force) list.
In prison you have full medical coverage with no deductibles.
At work, you get partial coverage and pay all the deductibles.
In prison they ball and chain you when you go somewhere.
At work you are aren't allowed to ball, but they do require chains.
In prison all expenses are paid by the tax payer, with no work on their
part.
At work, you get to pay all the epenses to go to work, and then deduct
the taxes from your salary to pay for the prisoners.
The prison library contains all the reference material and books about
Tigers that were ever printed.
On the outside you buy your own. (but you are allowed to pay for owning,
maintaining, and insuring the Tiger).
There - I did relate to Tigers after all.
