+518 They should replace capital punishment with something more fair: Prepare the convicted to be hanged, but have him wait with the noose on. He thinks up a word or phrase and draws blanks for each letter. Next, bring in a stranger and have him guess random letters to find out the mystery word/phrase. If the stranger guesses six useless letters, the convicted is hanged, amirite?

Brilliant.

If I were in the convicted position, I would simply chose a pangram as my phrase. PANGRAM: A sentence containing all 26 letters of the English alphabet. For example; "fill my box with five jugs of liquer". That way, the stranger would NEVER guess a wrong letter. Still, I like your idea. :D

lol okay, so this murderer guy just killed your whole family and he thinks of "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"(which includes every single letter of the alphabet) or something like that, and then he is to go free because even the most stupid stranger would get it right! he is off again, to murder another family.

a good joke can't be ruined by a simple post like this

Wow, wait to ruin the fun, asshole.

how about....every other phrase BUT that one is allowed

by Anonymous 13 years ago

there are many phrases that include all letters, plus he could just choose an easy word for example _ aka "A" or "I"

Making the sentence "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" is actually a really smart idea, and even though it ruins the fun of the post, it's smart.

Wouldn't people who knew this was a criminal guess all the useless/ least commonly used letters like Q, Z, J,and K?

NW, see that's why you bring in a stranger. They would care more about winning than justice.

Actually, he's correct. People are hanged. I distinctly remember being corrected about this in sophomore English class.

it took me a couple minutes to get this. But it's funny haha

I'd be funny if the murderer guessed right and they were all, "LOLJK. You have to die still. Thanks for playing, though."

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well, the murderer wouldn't guess, they would set the word/phrase to be guessed.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well I think that a murderer should die in the way ge killed the victim.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

That's also a good idea! :)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But then that person would deserve to die in the way the murderer died killing his victim. Avenged seventhfold, anyone?
