Long Live Barney Fife -- "Prison releases felon after getting phony fax; typo-filled missive sent from grocery store said court ‘demanded’ release."
I should fax them a court order requiring them to send me a million dollars and their cutest guard.

Where's Buford Pusser when you need him?

I wonder if I could have the same luck sending a fax to the lottery board telling them they forgot to send my twenty three million dollar check and I need it NOW. Hmmm...... If it works, first round is on me.

I am not at all surprised by this, except perhaps that this ruse has never before made the news. Criminals may be the dregs of society, but correctional officers are in the 3rd percentile of high school graduates.

As for typos and grammar mistakes, one of my favorite blogs is by a sociology PhD and this woman wouldn't know a homonym if it bit her on the ars. [sic]

Are homonyms those lizards with the wing-like flaps that expand when threatened? I'd hate to get bit by one of those things.

The third percentile guarding the .5th percentile.

Nice.

Orange Swan, are you sure you're hard-up enough for a "correctional officer," even if it's the best-looking one? I've seen a few in restaurants in various places...imagine a really out-of-shape middle-aged former GI who looks and sounds like he'd beat women if he could find some that'd stay still long enough.
