ah, the olde dayes ... when the sound of a cat-o'-nine-tails would
sharpen the wits of many a crewman!! not to mention the bucket of salt
water poured over 'is back when 'twas all over!! :)

i harken to the day when Public Flogging will return ... just imagine:

you run a red light. cops pull you over. give you a ticket. you show
up on Saturday to pay the ticket (court house open on Saturday? now
you KNOW it's a fantasy!), and they drag you out back and tie you to a
pillory and start giving you five lashes!! in front of a crowd ... who
paid good money to see their fellow citizens flogged!! :)

i think the city could make some money with this approach ... and it
would cut down on such traffic offenses. i mean, all those little
grey-haired ladies who scream bloody murder at the 'wrestling' matches
.. they'd LOVE to sit in some bleachers and scream at Mary Sue and
Billy Bob getting flogged for running red lights or parking illegally.

and how about speeding tickets?? what say we put 'em into the stocks
and sell rotten eggs and tomatos and such ... so the paying crowd of
Public-Minded Citizens could vent their righteous outrage (via the
eggs and veggies) on the faces of the criminals?? :)

maybe branding would be next?? :)

ah, for the Goode Olde Dayes ...  ;)

unca joel
currently floggless. :)
