Surely if there were still guillotine executions until the 1970s
Stick-beating is still legal?

If not I wish to know why not.

Beating with a stick is just old-fashioned.
And tiring!

But still I yearn for it.

But the old-fashioned ones are the best, surely
Like the good old, reliable Iron Maiden-style punishment.
