Jailhouse crock

When it comes to hijinks and practical jokes, you can’t top most jail inmates.

Like the gang in Uniontown, Pa., that has repeatedly clogged up the jail’s toilets with sheets, pants, light bulbs, etc.

What fun-loving pranksters!

Unfortunately, the county commissioners there aren’t laughing. That’s probably because they have to continually pay big bucks to clean out and repair the jail’s old sewer lines.

I imagine that taxpayers in that county aren’t chuckling either.

Maybe the county jail could shift to an alternate form of waste disposal.

As in, the toilets would be removed, and each cell would be issued … a bucket!

I’m sure the inmates would appreciate being on the receiving end of a joke for a change.

And if they didn’t, well, tough s**t.

Tom, once again you just don't understand the desperate need of society's marginalized to express themselves artistically. If you would only get over your cheap, petite-bourgeois self you'd see that a taxpayer-funded towel inserted with finesse and feeling into a taxpayer-funded toilet is an expression of existential angst because of the oppression of other-minded individuals by reactionaries with archaic concepts of property rights.

The cure for this is blindingly obvious: remove all the sheets, towels,clothing,toilet paper and light bulbs. Forever.
