Members of the pudding club are entitled to two puddings of their choice starting a week after they join the club, providing they send their puddings that week to cell 34C in block F.</p> <p>"It all started with me complaining that I got the same tiny pudding every day", said life Tony "The Wide Receiver" Bartorelli, a gangster doing 10-20 for loan sharking and living off of immoral earnings "then my cellie Bernie suggested I give him the pudding and tell all my friends about it, and a week later I'll have my choice of two puddings. Sure enough me and my associates got a choice of pudding and it just grew from there"</p> <p>Pretty soon the entire block had their pick of puddings and the guards started to join, donating their puddings to Bernie and getting two puddings every day a week later. Word got around and now everybody in the prison gets two puddings everyday. I don't know how Bernie does it"</p> <p>So successful is the scheme that the governor is calling other governors and telling them to join in the scheme. "We've never seen the prisoners so happy" said the Bunter CI governor, "and they all get puddings that the want"</p> <p>"My cellie Bernie told me once that he called it the Pudding Onetime No-downpayment Zero Interest scheme", said Bartorelli tucking into another delicious pudding "but I think Pudding Club sounds catchier. It's a great club and everyone's happy, so what's the problem?" </p>
