***If California had death by electrocution, we'd have a Crispy Crip.***

Kind of like "Spink-a-links!"

Hint:
When the Supreme court reaffirmed the death penalty, after a long hiatus, the first man executed in "Old Sparky" was a man named Spinks.

the first man executed in "Old Sparky"

A couple of days ago, one of our wittier FReepers used the term for what the Tookster faces: "Old Pointy".

I was browsing a death penalty site and since 1976 there has been 3 hangings and 2 firing squad executions. ...forget what states?
