The Great Escape

            In 1998, Charles Victor Thompson was sentenced to death for murdering his ex-girlfriend. So there he sat on death row for 7 years, until he decided that the whole "death row" thing wasn't really his thing. So he began to plot his ingenious escape plan.
Brace yourselves for the most gut-wrenching story of all time. 

            The first part of his plan was to get civilian clothes smuggled into his cell. Pretty typical stuff here. The next phase was his escape. One might expect a carefully hand-dug whole under his bed, but no. Charles simply called a meeting with his attorney, then while the attorney was outside of the room, he donned his civilian clothes. He then used a very particular skill he had practiced many times. He walked out of the room via the unlocked door. 

Lots of civilians wear yellow jump suits. They are all the rage now a days.

              But Charles wasn't out of the woods yet. He was stopped at the front desk by a security guard. Luckily, Charles had already prepared this part of his brilliantly orchestrated plan. Wait, no he didn't. He was luckily a master of improvisation, so he lamely flashed his prison ID badge and mumbled something about being with the attorney general's office. 

Sorry Mr. President, I didn't recognize you until you showed me that badge.

              So rather than ask any more nosey questions, the guard let him past. And Charles went scott free! Until a bit later when they found him drunk at near by liquor store.
