A few days ago, I found myself sitting on a bench in a park next to a homeless bloke.
I asked him how he ended up like this.
He said, "Until last week, I still had everything. I had a roof over my head, security, a cook, my clothes were washed and pressed, I had TV, the internet, I went to the gym, the pool, the library. I had medical and dental care and was even studying for a degree."
I asked, "So what the hell happened to you, man? Drugs? Alcohol? Divorce? Bankruptcy?"
"Oh no, nothing like that,” he said. "No, I was released from prison early ... the bastards let me out on parole.”
That's life for you....
