Back again,
It was a cold morning at Goulburn gaol, I had been up late having a big one watching late night telly in my cell.
I was pretty tired and grabbed a coffee straight away when we got to work at the kitchen.
We had an on going joke at the kitchen which was that every now and then someone would get hit with ice cold water from the fridge as they took a morning shower.
As everyone woke up properly one of the lads John McMahon headed in for a shower as he walked in I could see a guy he worked with on the sink grinning, I cant remember his name so I will call him Mick.
As soon as we heard the shower pipes clanging Mick grabbed a bucket and filled it with icey water, everyone that was falling asleep woke up straight away because this tom foolery always lead to a major laugh or some morning action depending on the target.
Mick crept up with his bucket in through the bathroom door, next thing we heard was John scream and out ran Mick.
To every ones surprise John came bolting out after Mick buck naked, cussing and cursing!
Falling over ourselves laughing we ran out after them and just as we caught up John cornered Mick in a tiled dish washing area and they both had there dukes up.
John jabbed Mick in the jaw which shook him but the problem was the floors were wet and as he hit him they both lost balance started to fall over and into each other grabbing one another to stay on their feet!
This made Johnny so much angrier and so he kept swinging.
With each big swing they would both slip over on to the floor or in to each other and then get back up.
We were all in hysterics as these two carried on.
After landing a few good shots John left it at that and wandered back to the shower.
Mick looked crushed he, said it was because he had lost the blue but I think having naked wet John rolling over him in front of 50 odd blokes was what really shot him down him.
Embarrassing for Mick, funny as hell for us!
Back soon.
