Not as bad as you think...

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WOODBRIDGE -- Fire broke out in a trailer for inmates at the East Jersey State Prison today, destroying the structure but hurting no one, officials said.

All 100 minimum-security inmates who were housed in the trailer were safely evacuated to the gymnasium in the prison's main building, said Matt Shuman, a spokesman for the New Jersey Department of Corrections. At no point was prison security compromised, he said.

About eight satellite trailers are used as barracks for prison inmates, Shuman said. The fire did not spread to the main building, he said.

The blaze began about 4 a.m. and it remains under investigation, Shuman said.

I sure hope that at least one of the five choppers hovering over head had a couple sharp shooters in it!

They did indeed, I enjoyed the shots on Fox 5 with my morning coffee.

True story-

My Ma's talking to her housekeeper of 30 years (super nice lady but anyway) when she (the housekeeper, Mrs. B) mentions her son. My mom says:

"Oh, you haven't mentioned him in a while- where is he these days?"

Mrs. B: "Rahway"

Mrs Larry: "Oh really? What's he studying?"

Mrs. B: dead silence

-D'oh! She actually thought it was a school! Her next question was likely to be "How's the lacrosse team this year?"

Probably nicer than their trailer at home.
