Jail vs. Nursing Home

Sharing the following email with you:

Let's put the seniors in jail and the criminals in a nursing home..

* This way the seniors would have access to showers, hobbies, and walks.
* They'd receive unlimited free prescriptions, dental and medical treatment , wheel chairs etc.
* They'd receive money instead of paying it out.
* They would have constant video monitoring, so they could be helped instantly if they fell or needed assistance.
* Bedding would be washed twice a week, and all clothing would be ironed and returned to them.
* A guard would check on them every 20 minutes, and bring their meals and snacks to their cell.
* They would have family visits in a suite built for that purpose.
* They would have access to a library, weight room, spiritual counseling, pool and education.
* Simple clothing , shoes, slippers, P.J.'s and legal aid would be free, on request.
* Private, secure rooms for all, with an exercise outdoor yard - with gardens.
* Each senior would have a P.C. a T.V. Radio, and daily phone calls.
* There would be a board of directors to hear complaints and the guards would have a code of conduct, that would be strictly adhered to.

The "criminals" would get cold food, be left all alone, and unsupervised.
Lights off at 8pm, and showers once a week.
Live in a tiny room , and pay $5000.00 per month and have no hope of ever getting out.

Justice for all.

An UN joke

Sharing the following mail with you:


Last month the UN conducted a world-wide survey by phone.

The only question asked was:-

"Would you please give your honest opinion about solutions to the food shortage in the rest of the world?"

The survey was a huge failure because of the following:

1. In Eastern Europe they didn't know what "honest" meant.

2. In Western Europe they didn't know what "shortage" meant.

3. In Africa they didn't know what "food" meant.

4. In China they didn't know what "opinion" meant.

5. In the Middle East they didn't know what "solution" meant.

6. In South America they didn't know what "please" meant.

7. In the USA they didn't know what "the rest of the world" meant.

8. In Australia they hung up as soon as they heard the Indian accent.
