Blogger Shares Secret to Law Abiding World: There's Worse Things Than Jail
 
It happens virtually every day.  The Judge starts reading the sentence, "5 days in jail, $1100 fine. . ." when the client sharply jabs Blogger in the chest.

"Ask him if I can serve more jail time instead of the fine."

I politely make the inquiry to the court.  The court points out that at $40 dollars a day, he's looking at quite sometime. Time that could be spent at home taking care of the missus.

The client looks frantically toward the back of the courtroom where his true love is wondering why her man always seems to be getting these little jail sentences and wanting to serve out the time instead of coming home.  He leans over and says to me, "Please Mr. Blogger, get me jail  time. I'm $23.50 up in the poker game that's been going since last weekend. If I go home, she won't even let me play with the guys on Saturday night."

It's a scenario that plays out everyday in America. It's a fact that everyone should be aware of.

There are worse things than jail.
