Jailbird Special

Jailbird Special: Whenever I fly on a prison-plane (just like the one in Con Air) this is how I like to get inevriated. (That’s inevriated – not inebriated – the unfortunate conceptual collision of aviation and inebriation). I prefer to make a “Jailbird Special”. A Jailbird Special is preferably made of prune wine, gel hand sanitizer and 7Up. Now of course you have to special make the prune wine in the prison toilet well before departure and liftoff. I usually prefer to store it in a used IV bag from the infirmary. The gel hand sanitizer is almost always available in the prison plane lavatory. Most dudes prefer just imbibing the gel sanitizer to get grunk . But, the Jailbird Special does add an element of ‘class’ and loser sophistication. You usually have to bribe a guard with a reacharound to obtain the 7Up – along with a martini glass.
