That's one of the problems with electric chairs -- they don't work the
way they're supposed to. They do a better job of slowly frying the
criminal, rather than quickly stopping his heart.

I'll have to write a new version of Gilbert... "The criminal fried..."

I can't believe the participants in /this/ group aren't
more familiar with electrical safety.

Electrical safety standards vary between countries.

I was talking about safety, not safety standards or regulations.
