Here's my top ten list.
1. Shoot Them. I need the target practice.
2. Behead Them. My baseball swing could always use some work.
3. Hang Them. Need help with the rope on this
4. Shove a grenade where the sun don't shine and pull the pin.Bad mental picture here.
5. Let me take then for a long run, tied to my bumper. Awww, didums fall down? Here let me help you get back up..with SALT
6. Pour Gasoline on them and light a match.I like fire
7. Bury them up to their necks and play football. Snap, Spot, Kick....it's good from 45 yards
8. Stone them. I wonder pitches it would take? Hey Coach, I feel great. Yeah, I know my pitch count is high but I have great command today.
9. Put them in pens with wild boars. What?? they don't like pork..the other white meat?. Too Bad!
10. Put them on an island in the Pacific and NUKE The Bastards. I'll drive the boat, brief them as to what's comming next, and push the button.
