Gabbi--Five Year Solitary

Posted by Bobby on August 6, 2002, at 17:04:52

Three tourists were traveling in South America: an Isishman, a frenchman, and an American. They all found themselves in a bar in a small Latin American country which was ruled by a strict dictator. As luck would have it, they got into an argument and a bar fight soon started. The local military police arrived and arrested them.

At their trial before a tribunal, they learned their luck was even worse than they had thought. The bar was owned by the brother of the dictator. The three of them were promply sentenced to five years in solitary confinement.

Before they were taken away to prison, the judge said, "you are foreigners to our country. I will grant you each one favor. You may choose one item to help you pass the time in our prison. What do you wish for?"
The Irishman asked for a five year supply of fine Irish whiskey. The Frenchman asked for a five year supply of fine French wine. The American asked for a five year supply of cigarettes. The judge grants all three requests. The three were led off to prison and thrown into individual cells in the dark, damp basement of the prison.

Five years later they were let out one by one. First the Irishman was released. He staggered out, drunk, barely able to stand and quickly stumbled out of the prison without saying a word. The Frenchman was released next. He swaggered out, rather drunk himself, and walked into freedom. The American was released last. He stepped out into freedom and said, Does anyone have a %&*@# match?"

That was funny, but somehow the American's story seemed less like a joke, and more like a symbolic representation of my life?

I'm going to have some tea now, but I have to tell you about me braving the Mall or should I say MAUL and my search for Michael Franks.
