Execution #1,000 coming right up!

Looks like about an average of one execution every three weeks since 1977.
 
Let me count on my fingers a bit....7,000 muders/year, x30 years,= 210,000 murders, means one murderer gassed for every 210 victims? I'd say the death penalty in a mite under utilized....but I ran out of fingers...I had to unzip to get to 21...fun with math?
 
I think we might have hit on something that will put the anti-death penalty crowd on the defensive: From now on the prisoner should be given the choice of last meal and a nifty party hat. After all, its all about him. I mean, usually him. But I'm not sure there are really enough executions of women to justify the added expense. Maybe they could just give them styrofoam cups with pretty flowers drawn in for color.

Now who could argue with that?

That may be fine and good for your run-of-the-mill lethal injection, but I'm pretty certain that hydrogen cyanide is gonna do some pretty nasty stuff to the polystyrene. I'm not even going to think about riding Old Sparky with a Dixie Cup on your head.

So, does the unlucky SOB get to wear a funny hat or what?

How does Ohio execute criminals anyway?

If they get the electric chair, I think it would be great to put a lightbulb in his mouth.

If they use the gas chamber, maybe some potpourri-scented cyanide.

The lethal injection method does create a bit of a problem, maybe we could just offer the unlucky guest-of-honor a lifetime subscription to Playboy or Hustler?

Actually, you'd think they'd have planned for this event a bit better. Maybe more of an execution "event" than just a single killing. I think it would be great to do what George Carlin once suggested be done with all the testerone-laden, violence-prone macho types in the country. Throw them all in a big arena and feed them nothing but whiskey and PCP for a week. When they've finished killing each other, take the survivor and place him on a pedestal, and shoot him in the friggin head!

Yes, but then who would change your flat tire for you?

My wife. I hope you're not insinuating that one must be a violence-prone, testerone-laden miscreant to have enough physical strength to change a tire, Luke. As a matter of fact, most of the automotive and motorcycle mechanics, carpenters, plumbers, sports fans, and gun nuts I know are all law-abiding guys.

Incidently, I agree with BPSCG's post up at the top - an execution shouldn't necessarily be a festive event. It is a time of mourning and introspection, however, the mourning belongs to the victim and the introspection should come from the fact that THIS GUY will never hurt anyone again!

Just a little antipodal Carlinesque humor back at you, Mephisto. :)

Agreed. But this is a TCS topic. So sit back, relax. Put a party hat on the pedophilic priest in the electric chair over there in the corner while your kindergarten teacher goes down on you. Fun times!

Oops! I thought you insulting were my manhood . . . wherever it is? I didn't realize GC had also said that . . .

That is IF we can get any of those pedophilic priests to hold out long enough - Keogh didn't last very long, did he?
 
Time to reprise "Electric Avenue" I guess... they did that on a local radio station in Florida when Bundy got executed.
