Not A Fair Fight
Guy in Wasco Prison (who apparently reads my column) sent me a homemade valentine.
I show boyfriend, who was making me salmon at the time.
Boyfriend points out that it will be 10 to 20 before the competition can get to fish store.
Hmm. Good point.
What did the valentine say?
How many creepy letters do you get from guys a month? Or is it more by email these days?

Now why assume that the valentine that Amy got from an inmate was "creepy"? Maybe he just likes her column. And maybe he's gained some insight from Amy as to having a meaningful relationship with his 6' 7", 350-lb cellmate named Bubba, who likes to be called Dominique.

It was just a picture with "Happy Valentine's Day" on it. Some sort of low-rent cartoon character, colored in.
Trust me, valentines from inmates are a little creepy. I get a lot of inmate mail. This guy also said something like I'm his reason for living. I don't read these letters, really, because I don't have time -- they're all "not guilty," or not really guilty, or most are, and they write in pencil, illegibly.

That was not a letter, that was a hook cast out by a fisherman. Inmates have a lot of time, and occasionally they do get a bite.

I like the way boyfriend thinks. That and the fact that in 10 - 20 after Bubba(s) are finished with him, you may not be his type...but boyfriend just might be! ;-)

The heading reminds me of the words of the late great David Hackworth - "If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly."

So you're saying rape is truly a hilarious crime? I'd have to disagree.
