Cutting deep, and right to the bone

It has been a rough few days here at Garfield Prison. #2 developed a fever and rash over the weekend and was diagnosed with strep throat with a side of scarlet fever. But, thanks to Alexander Fleming, we have medicines to combat that, and they work fast on youngsters. 

24 hours after diagnosis and the start of antibiotics, #2 is back at full strength. Perhaps that strength was gained by passing the strep onto the Guard. Yep. The Guard has it too. Joy. 

Headache, chills, sore throat, all the good stuff. But the Prison still needs a guard. The Warden is off at some secret society of uppety ups so here we are. Trying to entertain the prisoners with recordings of the Voice. Was going ok until a fight breaks out. #2 started a fight with #3. #2 was sent to his cell and he was pissed. 10 seconds later a mini prison riot nearly erupts and the Guard gets hit in the head with something as the following is screamed multiple times; "I am going to PITT!!"  Yeah, that stab in the back was deep, painful and right to the bone. The prisoner knew what the effect would be. 

The prisoner threw this:


The back story is this: The Warden attended Pitt. The Guard, Penn State. We are truely a 'Prison Divided' when it comes to college sports and the subtle hints at our attempts of brain washing. 

Maybe the hints were not so subtle since this backlash at punishment cut so thoroughly to the bone. That hurt. Made the guard swallow hard (inflicting serious physical pain in the process due to the strep throat I might add), regain composure and let the comment slide. The object pictured has now been stored away for safe keeping for a future date. I think that date will be #2's wedding where the favor will be returned.
