Here's my third Newsrevue entry for last week.
OK - not much of a punchline I know but...
LIFE SENTENCE PLUS
AN AMERICAN PRISON GOVERNOR IS IN HIS OFFICE. AN AMERICAN WARDER KNOCKS ON HIS DOOR
WARDER
Hello sir. I thought you should know. Another one bites the dust.
GOVERNOR
What's that?
WARDER
One less to worry about sir. That guy Castro who kept women imprisoned for ten years. He's been found hanging in his cell.
GOVERNOR
Oh no!!!
WARDER
I thought you'd be pleased sir.
GOVERNOR
But don't you remember? He was sentenced to life plus a thousand years.
WARDER
But you laughed at the sentence sir.
GOVERNOR
I didn't think I'd have to worry about it. I thought I'd be retired and well out of the way.
WARDEN
I see what you mean sir.
GOVERNOR
But what do we do with him? Do we keep his body in the cell?
WARDER
There would be a bit of a smell I guess.
GOVERNOR
A bit? And think of the flies. That smart ass Judge never thought about that did he.
WARDER
We could embalm him.
GOVERNOR
Maybe we could cremate him and keep the ashes in a jar.
WARDER
Well there's one good point. At least we don't have to feed him sir.
