Snake In A Box

In true gamer fashion, a 42-year-old Turkish man has escaped from a German prison Solid Snake style by making use of a cardboard box:

The man hid in the box at the end of a shift of his prison job of making stationery and was carried out by a courier service along with other boxes. The inmate then cut through a tarp in the truck and jumped out shortly after the vehicle left the prison grounds. The driver eventually noticed the tarp flapping in the wind and reported the cut to the police.

Wait a minute — a prison job making stationery? No wonder the poor bastard wanted to escape so bad. Pressing license plates I can understand, but making stationery? That’s just cruel and unusual. Let’s celebrate the convicted drug dealer’s victory vicariously — EPIC WIN! Now someone catch the bastard.
