sophiaserpentiaDoes anyone remember the skit from Cheech & Chong's first album, where an interrogator was trying to force a prisoner to "sign ze papers"? The punchline was:
OLD MAN: What do the papers say?
INTERROGATOR: Zey merely say zat you haff not been mistreated while in our custody.
OLD MAN: I cannot sign the papers.
INTERROGATOR (shouting): WHY? WHY can you not sign ze papers?
OLD MAN: Because you have broken both of my hands!
Comedy gold, eh? Yeah, well. It'd never happen in the real world, and even if it does, it wouldn't happen HERE, right? [warning, there's some graphic detail in that story.]
I know we have an economic crisis going on and all, but surely we can spare some of our time and attention bringing criminal torturers to justice. Just sayin'.
