Never saw off the branch you are on, unless you are being hanged from it. ~Stanislaw Lec

Nathan  Being hanged?!? That is utterly barbaric!!! What is wrong with you people? Good grief!

Arinda  What is it that’s being hanged? You have to hang some things, Nathan. Like pictures!

Catherine  They do brighten up a room, don’t they?

Arinda  They do!

Nathan  Hate to disrupt the schoolgirl chatter, but it’s people that are being hanged.

Arinda  Upside down? That’d give you a headache before long, I’m sure. Is there a reason they want people to have a headache?

Nathan  Uh… I don’t know, Arinda.

Catherine  I always wondered what it would feel like to be hung from your thumbs.

Arinda  I imagine it would hurt quite a lot. I mean, try wearing a ring that weighs a hundred pounds or more. It would be very uncomfortable, I’m sure.

Catherine  That’s a good idea! It wouldn’t be exactly the same as being hung by your thumbs, but it would give you an idea, wouldn’t it?

Arinda  It is rather mean, hanging someone up like that, though, isn’t it?

Nathan  Yes it is! And we’re talking about being hanged by the neck, not by the thumbs.

Arinda  Now Nathan, you’re making that up! That’d be downright dangerous. Someone could get badly hurt!

Cullen  Someone could get badly dead, in fact.

Catherine  Why would anybody do that?

Nathan  I don’t know, but I’m strangely tempted to find out at the moment. Cullen, got a rope I could borrow?

Cullen  Only if you’re planning to use it on yourself. I don’t hold with hanging the ladies.

Nathan  I promise! I’ll only string them up by their thumbs. They wanted to know what that was like anyway!

Cullen  No.
