YOU IN MY HOUSE NOW
Ike has played a lot of basketball. In fact he was good enough to play in college, though not at a Division I school.

Several years ago he and some friends were invited to play against a team of prison inmates. When they go to the prison they were a little nervous, but one of the guards assured them that any prisoner who did anything that would risk spoiling the game was sure to get a shiv later that same day.

Ike's team noticed right away how well-conditioned the prisoners were. They had plenty of time, after all, to work out in the gym, running and lifting weights. They were muscled up like NBA players.By the second half the visiting team was worn out and the prisoners ended up winning by a wide margin.

"You guys have been lying around and drinking beer instead of working out like us!" one of the convicts told them.

"Yeah, and sleeping with women, too," Ike wanted to say but held his counsel.
