I have apparently touched a nerve.

The Funny Business contest for most creative prison sentence for Bernard Madoff has gotten a huge response. Keep 'em coming!

Many of you have suggested the death penalty, a public execution, having him share a cell with a very big and needy man, and Nathan M. suggests a public stoning.

All very worthy suggestions.

But, again, winning nominees need to be no more violent than PG-13.

Here are a few your ideas:

Doug T. believes Madoff should be force-fed a diet of the very thing he ate up...money: "He should be made to eat Benjamins until his pampered gut explodes."

Jim B.: "I think we should just release him. He lost money for the Russian oligarchs and possibly the Russian mob. There's really nowhere to go to hide from those guys. Bon voyage Bernie!"

Bob in Indiana: "I am sure he will go to Club Med Prison for criminals...He and his wife should be reduced to only being able play one round of golf a day, one bottle of wine with dinner, no pre-meal cocktails, single serving appetizers, no dessert. Room service reduced to once a week, no evening pillow turn down. Whatever punishment he gets will not be enough for the crime he committed."

Scott H.: "An appointment as Secretary of (Treasury) in the Obama Administration, since they clearly share the same philosophy of wealth expropriation."

Matt M. says give him five years: "Where is the SEC on this deal? Madoff had a firm that allegedly controlled that much money and we (SEC) don't have one guy assigned? WTF? They are the ones who should be on trial."

Richard P.:  "Sentence him to life working everyday for the SEC, finding people just like him who haven't been found yet...Give him leave to go walk in Central Park for an hour everytime he finds another crook, and leave to go to a very good restaurant for dinner everytime he turns up somebody who whacked the public for upwards of $100,000,000. Other performance bonuses can be created. Never mind his rotting in jail; it might feel good, but does nothing for us but force us to feed him. He's very smart, very experienced, and we should put him to work catching people just like him."

Many of you suggested that Madoff get daily visits from his victims who can confront him face to face.

But others, like Menla S., took it a step further: "I see a new tourist attraction for Times Square-let's put Bernie in a cage/cell-visible to all. Charge a fee for permission to approach the cage and make a statement directly to the fiend's face. Money earned would go to a fund set up for his victims. Even better, put the wife in there with him, before she makes a deal and appears in her own reality show."

Port C. one-ups that idea: "He should be put in a plexiglass box structure suspended from a cable. In this clear, totally see-through box he and his wife will exist without any clothing. Food will drop in from the top. There will be no mail or television or communication. Everyone in society will see what happens when you do what he did. What happens when you strip someone of their trust, hope and lifes hard work. He and his wife will exist in there without any privacy, decency etc. No blankets, sheets or anything to hide their nakedness. Just like he did to his victims."

Bruce S.: "Sentence him to the full 150 years but tell him he gets to reduce the sentence by 3 years for every $1 Billion he pays back. If he comes up with the $50 Billion he gets out of jail..."

Ron F. suggests, among other things: · Allow people who have lost their entire savings/ investments to "Time Share" Madoff's luxury $7 Million Dollar Home. · Have Madoff's wife be the "Housekeeper" and caterer for All the people who "Time Share" Madoff's former home. · Madoff himself, should be immediately put in a Chain Gang somewhere deep in Tennessee "breaking rock" for the rest of his day's

"Naperville": "I think we should trade him to the Palestinians for Israeli soldiers."

Don S. "How about we turn Madoff over to Jack Bauer from the show '24' to torture his a** into telling where all the money went and who else was involved..."

Robert F. "Take him up to Canada, in the middle of the woods, strip him down, tie him to a tree, and rub honey on his a**."
