Cruel & Unusual

Image may contain: possible text that says 'A WOMAN was found guilty in court of a traffic offence, and when asked for her occupation she said she was a schoolteacher. The judge rose from the bench. "Madam, I have waited years for a schoolteacher to appear before this court." He smiled with delight, and said: "Now sit down at that table and write 'I will not run a red light' 500 times."'

I have never understood this "cruel and unusual" phrase. What's the opposite, "kind and everyday"?

If it isn't somewhat cruel it isn't punishment and if it isn't unusual the receiver will not consider it to be worthy of note.

So........where did I leave that soldering iron and my new Vise Grip pliers?
