Bank queues, hospital queues, prison queues, …WTF? PRISON Queues?
Tue 26 Sep 2006Who makes up these crazy headlines? “Blogosphere shrinks planet!” There’s another one.
I met blogger Joel Dullroy (a journalist in Estonia) by doing a small favour for his blogger brother in the Middle East. It turns out that Joel is from Brisbane and moved to Estonia partly to see where the Estonian fragment of his heritage came from and partly just to be random. He worked for several years for The Courier-Mail and now writes for The Baltic Times. Joel writes under the name of Joel Alas because that was his Estonian ancestor’s name and it’s a lot easier for the locals to deal with.
I fell about laughing (Hey kids, that’s oldie-speak for “I ROFL’d.”) when I read his article on what happens when Estonian prison infrastructure cannot keep up with demand.

Those damn queue jumping Dutch are at it again, eh? I guess the next natural progression will be people queueing up outside cemetaries.

Bonestorm : yep. And then there’ll be the queue at the Pearly Gates. No, Wait! I’ll be in the queue at “the other place”. I’d better queue up to be cremated in order to get used to the heat.
