Tip of the Week: How to Survive in Federal Prison

My Google homepage has a wikiHow link on it today that looks worthy of sharing just in case. It's called How to Survive in Federal Prison.

And if you have the spare time check out the related wikiHows near the bottom for surviving a night in jail and setting up bail while in jail. The latter could have been useful for some guys I know that were stuck in a county jail in Oklahoma (not a state they resided in). I didn't see an article about what to do if you are too large for the jumpsuit though...maybe I'll contribute some information I've heard before.

Helpful Tips

Last night I learned some valuable lessons about Bentley cars and I want to share just in case this happens to you:

• In case of a dead battery don't bother trying to get under the hood. The battery is in the trunk in a side compartment.
• In case of a dead battery don't bother trying to get into the trunk because it has an electric opener only. There is no keyhole to manually open the trunk.
• In case of a dead battery don't bother with calling the Bentley Roadside Assistance since all they will do is tell you that they will dispatch a tow truck for you.
• In case of a dead battery don't bother calling your friend that has a similar Bentley because chances are they won't know what to do either.
• Here is what you can do in case of a dead battery. The car has an auxiliary battery that you can activate by inserting the key into the ignition, turning it all the way counter-clockwise, and then attempting to crank the car.

And no I don't own a Bentley (they cost more than my house), but one of my company's investors does have one and I learned these valuable tips in our parking lot last night.  So next time you find yourself in a similar situation, or you get the call from one of your makin' it rain buddies you can now save the day with this knowledge.
