OK. We'll stop (almost). And now for the real point of this posting:
You can get a tour of a city prison and apply for a job as a correctional officer at the same time. Philadelphia Prisons Commissioner Leon A. King 2d is holding an open house on Nov. 29 from 4 to 8 p.m. at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, the city's "flagship" facility on State Road in Northeast Philadelphia. The open house includes guided tours of the housing area. Correctional officers start at $32,816 a year, with benefits. Here's the best news: When the tour is over, you can leave. RSVP by calling 215-685-8914. For more information, you can click on the city's prison web site.
Any more puns on this job? They must be G-rated, or they will be barred from the Philly Inc. Why should the lawyers have all the good jokes. Here's the great part. Both lawyers and prison guards can use "bar" as a basis for puns. Interesting isn't it?
