A funny Bachelor Party Bungee Jump prank
at a Norwegian bachelor party where the bachelor
is tricked into thinking he’s
going to be jumping off an old wooden bridge.
The bachelor isn’t exactly thrilled to make this jump
while blindfolded but
after some reassurances
from his mates he works up the courage and makes the
jump.
Aicatraz Prison, often known as the
"Rock,"
is on a small island in San Francisco Bay.
Alcatraz has long
been the most famous prison in America.
It started as a military prison during
the Civil War
and became a federal prison in the early part of the twentieth
century.
When it closed in the 1960s,
it had housed such famous con men as the
Birdman of Alcatraz and Al Capone.
Within the world of federal penitentiaries,
Alcatraz attracted a lot of prospective guards to tend the prisoners.
Sometimes
two and three generations of the same family
had members working as guards at
the "Rock."
In one local San Francisco family,
working at Alcatraz spanned three generations,
but unfortunately, not a fourth.
One young man was not destined it seemed to follow
in his father's,
grandfather's, and great-grandfather's footsteps.
As is common with the new
generation,
this young man preferred a more professional calling,
and he
graduated from law school, became a district attorney,
and finally built a
successful private practice.
He was asked several times to become an officer at
Alcatraz,
and he was even asked to consider becoming the warden.
Yet his
private practice consumed too much of his time.
After
several government inquiries,
he always demurred, always refusing the honor of
heading the prison.
Finally, in 1963, he decided to retire from law
having
built a secure nest egg,
and he himself asked if the warden's job was still
available.
Unfortunately, the Justice Department had decided to close Alcatraz,
and when the federal officials told him that no there
would be no job at
Alcatraz for him, he could only reply,
"I coulda been a con tender.
