I got to thinking about the surprise the guards found pursuing the escaped prisoner in "The Shawshank Redemption." The scene did not appear in the movie - you'll have to read the printed story. It's a real lknee-slapper.

I went to UC at Santa Cruz with a young man who lived in the redwood grove above the campus, took showers in the gym, ate at the local cafeteria; saved himself $$$$. Good for him!
