Penalty

The leader's fist hit his desk a strict three times, calling for order.

"The death penalty! Who's first?" he boomed with authority.

"When a child throws a rock at you!" a gentleman called.

The leader pondered this for a moment. He knew he hated children, especially rock throwing children.

"Stoning is the only justice for any rock heaving child. Next!"

"When someone pees in the community pool!"

Collectively, it was decided the appropriate penalty would first be torture by waterboarding, then death by electocution.

"NEXT!"

"When a really good idea is rejected and disregarded!"

The group laughed as the leader pronounced, "Don't be stupid, Richards!"

Richards sulked, yet imagined the leader's limbs being torn apart by rabid dogs. A proper justice.
