A man's in a room and the light's off. He has a bowl of cereal in front of him and two silver spoons to the side. By picking up one of the spoons and scooping a bowl of cereal, he electrocutes himself and turns the light on, all without touching the mains.
How did he manage to do that?

Well, with no direct connection to the electrical current, how could somebody electrocute themselves? By not touching the mains I mean he isn't going into contact with the electrical current lighting the light.

He was on death row and the bowl of cereal was his last meal before being electrocuted to death?

Yes. In fairness I told the first bit a little wrong, but it made the point and set the scene.

I am slim and tall,
Many find me desirable and appealing.
They touch me and I give a false good feeling.
Once I shine in splendor,
But only once and then no more.
For many I am "to die for".
What am I?

The quoted ironic "to die for" gave it away.

Yeah. The version I heard was worded a little differently, but the important point is that nobody said the electrocution happened when he dips the spoon, just because he dips the spoon in the cereal.

What strength and force cannot get through,
with a simple touch I can do;
and many in the street would stand,
if I were not a friend at hand.
