71-Year-Old Retired Teacher Can Now Cross ‘Go To Jail’ Off Of His Bucket List

Should going to jail really be a life goal? Well, it was on a 71-year-old retired teacher's bucket list and he has now completed that goal.

He is a 'criminal' and he did go to jail for a stupid reason, but I'd say this guy has a better head on his shoulders than most people in the world.

According to Cincinnati.com, this guy had been driving around with illegal taillights on his car for the past decade, but was recently pulled over and cited for them. He showed up in court, claimed his guilt, and chose 3-days in jail instead of paying the fine.

And what did he think of his time in the slammer?

It was a picnic. An unadulterated picnic.

Now he says he knows why our nation's prisons are too crowded; because doing time is "too easy." He said he wouldn't want to go back ,but he'd been in far worse places that that.

What else is on this guy's bucket list? Hike the Appalachian Trail, visit the Smithsonian museums, the California Redwoods and Key West, to name a few. Most of those sound a lot more fun than prison. Even easy prison.

Check out his story below from Cincinatti.com. (I bet this guys tells some great stories!)
