CHINESE REFORM CAPITOL PUNISHMENT!
Shown here is the new Jinguan justice van, it is fully air conditioned, can reach speeds up to 80 mph and has the ability to travel long distances to remote areas of China, coming to the rescue of inmates facing immediate execution by firing squad.
The prison guard at Xiang province turned to prisoner 14674 "Looks like this Is your lucky day #1-4, you not getting shot, your bus is here!" The relief on 1-4's face was short lived as the guard proudly announced, "This is our new death bus just for you!" 1-4 nervously responded, "I get run over by bus now!?" "No, no, (chuckle) you not run over by the bus, this good news.... you goin inside bus to be injected with poison... this is brand new portable death chamber!"
It's the new Blue bus era: The condemned can now be virtually hustled out of the courtroom and into the big blue bus where they are given a quick injection and tossed to a smaller bus waiting for good used body parts. People upset with US capital punishment, can hail this as a great step forward for the Chinese since they are abandoning the old firing squad in favor of something more productive and efficient. Remember: Important body parts can now be recycled! Gee, I wonder what psychological impact the arrival of the big "Blue Bus" might have on problem neighborhoods in the US? Or at certain prisons..."hellooooooo Nightstalker, your bus has arrived."

They can call it the Blue light Special and the recylcing part should be a big hit with environmentalists. Not exactly life in the fast lane, but they sure would be going nowhere fast.

I'm tryin' to think of something to say, but there just isn't anything to say, except: Eeewwwwwww! I suppose we can't ALL have refined sensibilities.
