Last Laugh (not-so-funny dept.): Magneto-type telephones remain to this day a favorite instrument of torture in many nations throughout the world. The wires are attached to the genitalia (of both male and female prisoners). Graduated application of voltage is considered a fine art among torturers, many of whom were trained at American taxpayers' expense by our international ambassadors, the CIA. Amnesty International has documented the use of these instruments. It's not pleasant reading.
