Well sometimes you hear about a total mistake and you wondered who let it get this far down the road without intervention...this is one of those...
Blue lips---We were introduced to a new staff member...this guy was huge...right from the get go he let everyone know that he was an ex-con...his claim to fame was-- he has been there.....been where? Yup he has been to the big house and he was going to be our inside guide to the prison system....his message was either shape up or you will also go down that road to hell...Well he carried the 'tough love' too far...the guys lost respect for the con...He was suffering from a heart problem which caused his lips to be blue in colour...As soon as he tried to assert himself as a staff member...the guys that were an hour ago sitting around the table listening to his every word as he described the 'big house' turned the tables on him...I was in the other room not interested in his prison tales..but could feel that something was in the air....started off with one of the guys not wanting to do his chores..so blue lips ordered him to finish his chores...Well with that the guy let loose ...He said why the hell should he listen to a jail bird...then finished off the verbal assault with addressing him as blue lips...That was the beginning the guys went wild and all joined in ...almost to a chant they surrounded blue lips....circling in ...blue lips felt the weight of the crowd...with that he broke...he got up and grabbed the chair and whipped it behind him...tossing it like it weighed nothing...the chair hit the kitchen wall and the steel legs folded and twisted like it was run over by a truck....The wall had also sported a new dent from the attack..With that all the guys backed off....oh yeah he got their attention alright...he cracked...and almost as if everyone knew --at the same time this guy wasn't right for this crowd.....'blue lips' packed up and never returned..
