America's largest jail: By the numbers - CNN.com

http://www.cnn.com/2016/09/22/us/lisa-ling-this-is-life-la-county-jail-by-the-numbers/index.html

*************************

A really huge muscular guy with a bad stutter goes to a counter in a department store and asks, "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?" 

The clerk behind the counter just looks at him and says nothing. 

The man repeats himself: "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?" 

Again, the clerk doesn't answer him. 

The guy asks several more times: "W-w-w-where's the m-m-m-men's dep-p-p-partment?" 

And the clerk just seems to ignore him. 

Finally, the guy storms off in anger. 

The customer who was waiting in line behind the guy asks the clerk, "Why wouldn't you answer that guy's question?" 

The clerk answers, "D-d-d-do you th-th-th-think I w-w-w-want to get b-b-b-beat up?!!"
