Has anyone ever had a notary job like this one? I've heard bizarre stories about notary jobs, but never like this one. This was a long time ago too.

It was just another afternoon, when I got a call for a notary job. The job was from an attorney downtown.
I was to meet the attorney at "Twin Towers" to do the job. When I arrived, he was there in a waiting room filled with Los Angeles' finest looking women, who apparantly can't resist criminals. We went through security and I took out all of the contents of my pockets: cell phone, wallet, coins, jacket, bag, belt, shoes, etc. The guards and parking attendants all knew me because I was a regular. They always went through my bad and asked about all of my various stamps, staplers, staples ( considered to be a deadly weapon in a prison ), etc. They took my stapler apart to inpsect its interior. Luckily they didn't strip search me. The guards often missed the refill staples in my which could be dangerous if they got in the wrong hands. Staples can be used to pick locks, and can even be a deadly weapon. Even a small piece of paper can be made into an instrument of death by jailbirds I was told.
We walked down the hallway of doom, an endless foreboding hallway that twisted and turned at fourty-five degree angles for hundreds of feet. The walls were made of cement bricks and there is always a stark and desolate feeling. For those of you who have never done a jail job before, there is always an ominous long hallway. Every jail has one, or at least should have one just to set the mood. If you go often enough, you will no longer notice the feeling of dread, apprehension, or the echo that each footstep makes on your seemingly endless journey to the elevator. Think of what it feels like to go down that hallway all alone on your first visit!
Then, we finally got to the elevator. We used the intercom to get permission to visit the sixth floor. We waited for what seemed to the lawyer to be like an attorney-ty. I mean, an eternity. We finally arrived at the sixth floor. We had to ask the guard to bring Frankie so we could notarize his signature. I noticed that Frankie had been in an accident. His face was cut up and he was missing parts of his fingers. He had a hobby of making explosives and he had accidentally blown up his apartment and lost one eye, and several fingertips in the process. How horrifying! He was a very gentle soul though, kind at heart. He spoke well of the guards. Not surprisingly, I had a bit of trouble getting the required thumbprint.
I went to see the same inmate two months later with the same attorney. The inmate was looking much better. The cuts and scratches were mostly healed.
The real irony took place eight months later when I went to notarize two Asian-American residents of West Hollywood. I thought I was just going for a regular notary job. They said they needed docuements notarized regarding a court case. They said the case was about a guy who blew up his apartment. I said, "His name wouldn't happen to be Frankie".
Their jaws dropped.
