They still have “Ol’ Sparky”, just dust him off, charge him up, and let them “ride the lighten’”.

Do you want regular or extra crispy?

Throw them in a pit with starving lions - Win, Win, Win, Win - Lions get fed saving money, perps get their rewards with no money spent, no expense drugs needed saving money and no funeral expenses saving money. Where is the down side?

Pull old Sparky back in from the garage, a few replacement parts from Radioshack and you’re good to go.
