A Tsk-Tsk, a Casket

A Georgia judge has ordered a drug offender to buy a coffin and display it in his home as a reminder of the fate that awaits him if he continues using cocaine. "Some people may think this is silly," the judge conceded. But some no doubt think it's a brilliant idea, especially if this behavior modification technique can be extended to smoking, drinking, overeating, and other potentially deadly habits.
