Perhaps electrical stimulation might cure 'excited delirium' as well? I'd let you set the voltage dial.
And I'd set the dial as high as it would go.
So the label was attached to the victim, not the perpetrator?
I misunderstood and, yes, I should have read the blog before commenting. Again.
Zap those MEs good.
