I never did like that guy, but I never would have guessed this. He'd better be
able to make up a much more violent or daring crime to tell his cellmates. I
can just imagine what his prison life would be like:
Cellmate Bubba: "Hey you! Yeah you, the scrawny cracker in the corner. What
you in for?"
Swanberg: "I printed off some UPC's and put them on...uh, I mean...I killed a
guy. Yeah, that's it. I killed a guy! And uh, he was bigger than you, and I
did it 'cause he looked at me funny."
Cellmate Ernie: "What?! I heard you conned a bunch of Target stores out of a
bunch of those LEGO toys. You know what else I heard? I heard you wet yourself
and cried like a mamma's boy when the polile hauled you away."
Swanberg: "No, that wasn't me! That must've been some OTHER 40 year old guy
from Reno named Swanberg. OUCH! Hey stop. Really--I'm a tough hardened
criminal. OWW! Let go you guys, I'm serious. You don't want to make
me--OUCH!!!"
Cellmate Bubba: "Make you what? Make you get a concussion?"
I think there might be some rough times coming up for Bill Swanberg.

As I read the report I thought exactly the same thing, although my joke was
going to involve making sure he didn't drop the soap. :-)
