AT WORK......You get more work for good behavior.
IN PRISON....The guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK......You must carry around a security card and open all
the doors for yourself.

AT WORK.....You get to pay all the expenses to go to work
and then they deduct taxes from your salary
to pay for prisoners.

I thought it was funny! I don't think it was trying to glamorize being a prisoner, I think it was a humorous comparison to the work environment we sometimes become prisoners to. A humorous analogy of sorts. I guess some people don't find that funny.

I'm confused. Do you want to set us all free, or do you want lock all of them up without bread and water?
your views don't fly with me.

Why are some nurses so serious all the time? If you gals don't want to hear a joke stay out of nursing humor. I'm sure pt nurse didn't mean anything by it.
