It was a man’s first day in prison, and he was having a hard time.
He sat alone in the corner, hugging himself and staring at the floor.
An older inmate noticed him and decided to cheer him up.
Old-Timer:
“How’s it going, kid? Looks like you’re having a rough day.”
New Inmate:
“Of course I am. I’m in prison.”
Old-Timer:
“Ah, you’ve watched too many movies. It isn’t as bad as you think.”
New Inmate:
“Really? What’s so good about this place?”
Old-Timer:
“Let me ask you something. Do you like baseball?”
New Inmate:
“Sure! Who doesn’t?”
Old-Timer:
“Great! Every Monday is Baseball Night. We all get to play.”
New Inmate:
“That’s actually pretty nice.”
Old-Timer:
“And Tuesday is Movie Night. We even get popcorn and soft drinks.”
New Inmate:
“Wow! What about Wednesday?”
Old-Timer:
“Do you like Italian food?”
New Inmate:
“Absolutely! Don’t tell me…”
Old-Timer:
“You guessed it. Wednesday is Italian Food Night. We eat like kings.”
New Inmate:
“This place is sounding better than I expected!”
Old-Timer:
“Just wait until Thursday.”
New Inmate:
“What’s on Thursday?”
Old-Timer:
“Well… before I tell you, I need to ask something.”
New Inmate:
“Sure, what is it?”
Old-Timer:
“You wouldn’t happen to be one of those… you know… guys who are interested in other guys, would you?”
New Inmate:
“Me? No! I’m as straight as an arrow.”
Old-Timer:
“Oh… well, in that case, you’re REALLY going to hate Thursdays!”
