Ketchup? Mustard? Relish? How much are you willing to pay for these little extras. In this prison, you'll now have to pay per packet.

Heh.
So now, instead of cigarettes, people will get killed for two packs of mustard.

Heck, this is the way my office building's cafeteria works. I was nearly accosted the first day for attempting to walk out with jelly.

No, not the Destiny's Child type of jelly.

Finally my average batchelor guy junk drawer crammed full of unused soy and hot sauce is about to pay off in silver dollars.
Oh, they laughed at me for living in a house with no bread and 52 packets of "hot" from the bell, but we'll see who laughs last.

This was just on the local news last night. I can't find a link, but the justification for charging for condiments was that a dietician thought that the prisoners were getting too much sodium and sugar and not enough milk.

Not worried about them getting too much semen and rectal tearing, I notice. Interesting dichotomy .

If my college cafeteria had charged for condiments, I might have starved to death.

What do you put rectal tearing on? Burritos?

When I went to Australia I was taken by suprise when the McDonalds charged 5 cents a packet for ketchup. I guess since it's standard in that country built by convicts, it's a natural progression that prisons would start charging as well.

Rectal tearing ? I usually just wish it on my enemies.


And attorney general John Ashcroft.

Man, I have a drawer with some extra Arbys horsey sauce. If I ever get thrown in the slammer I hope I can get someone to sneak them in for me.
