Homeless Man

I went up to a homeless man sitting on a bench in the town centre today with a cup of coffee for him.
I sat next to him and asked how he'd got in this position.
He said to me "You know, three weeks ago I had it all, my own accomodation, a cook, good food, the internet,TV, I used to go to the gym, to the swimming pool, the library, everything"
I replied, "Blimey, that's a bit rough, what happened, bad luck, divorce, drugs, alcohol problems"?
He said "Na, I got released from prison"

I only remember the T.V, and the library.....as for food...very bland (over-under cooked) the gym...(ran by thugs...couldn't get near it) NO internet...the only pool I saw was...one table with 13 balls. but...what you said is funny.

They're not all ex-convicts trying to get back on the gravy train.
