Three men are sentenced to death and brought to the executioner to face their fate. The executioner says to the first one, “You have a choice: You may die either by lethal injection or electric chair.”
He chooses lethal injection. The injection is administered and he dies.
The second man is offered the same choice. He selects the electric chair.
The executioner pulls the switch, but nothing happens. “Well,” the executioner says,”according to our laws, you made your choice and the punishment was administered, so we are done. You can go you’re a free man.” He leaves a free man.
Then the executioner asks the third man the same question: “Lethal injection or electric chair?”
I think lethal injection,” he says. “The electric chair is obviously broken.”
