"If Charlie Greenhalgh, AKA "the New York Hustle" got three years for his kidneys (plural) he'd have gotten a lot less than 3 years....)"

In 1923 the American secret service had already identified Adolph Hitler as a potential threat to world peace and had hatched a scheme to have him replaced by a double.

In the first instance volunteers had one testicle removed.

The earlier reference to a link with a silent movie was, of course, alluding to the fact that all the volunteers looked like Charlie Chaplin.

I now seem to be working towards Increasing General Ignorance.

Didn't the snooker player Jimmy White want a snooker ball as a replacement for one of his testicles he lost to cancer?

Correct.

Two were his own and one belonged to someone else. smiley - tongueincheek

That was the first (and arguably most) unusual thing about him, but assuming they were all wearing loose fitting shorts, what else meant you could pick him out from the crowd?

Not in San Quentin though.

San Quentin had it's own specialised supply chain.
