Oh Lord, please don’t burn us, don’t grill or toast your flock, don’t put us on the barbecue, or simmer us in stock, don’t braise or bake or boil us, or stir-fry us in a wok. Oh please don’t lightly poach us, or baste us with hot fat, don’t fricassee or roast us, or boil us in a vat. And please don’t stick thy servants Lord, in a rotissomat.

If I lose today, they can commit me for a year. Sixty days before the year is up, the hospital can ask to retain me. If I lose again, I’m gone for another year. And from then on, it’s two-thirds of the maximum sentence, which comes out to be 16 or 17 years, and that’s without a trial.
