Meth  Fun Fact for the Day: Using meth helps to circulate blood, and thus causes increased brain activity, so use meth before a big test, or when you need to write an essay, and its pretty much a guaranteed A!

Unsucessful???
How do they figure that, they wanted him dead, or they wouldn't have hanged him.

Hell if I was hung, I'd prefer to have the rope rip my head off, than to hang there slowly choking!
Some people do say I should be bloody well hung, & they're right

We have gallows in my hometown......
