You know they had to add the $200 fine afterwards because the instant death part wasn't enough of a deterrent for some people.

Yeah at this point $200 for instant death is too expensive

Sounds like the Futurama suicide booth. I mean, what's 2 bills matter? Can't take it with you.

$200 fine for TRYING to touch the wires. If they catch you.

IF you do make it all the way to the wires, it's a self-solving problem.

You are right but we are being silly though

The problem is not solved if you touch the wires. They have to get their money somehow.

For the cleanup at least... But that's what the family and friends are for no?

Make sure your wallet is empty

They very well might just bill your next of kin about it. Or it will be taken out of estate value first.

If you're broke, die, and have no immediate family? You get out scot free.

Theymake a claim against your estate.

They should put up a gate around it that doesn't open until you pay the $200 fine to insure that they get the fine before the death happens

Mr. Skeltal's origin story

I like the bones and skull graphic, makes it so much more ominous

Newcastle wouldn't be issuing fines in anything but pound sterling :P

Maybe it's Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia? They would be using Australian dollars, with $ as the currency symbol.
