A straight lariat loop makes them live longer and dance the jig. Thirteen wraps and a loop kills too quick.
Is that where “jig” comes from?
13 wrap noose will make those being killed, dance a jig every bit as much as a lasso loop if they just kick a horse out from under them. It is the trap door with a sufficient free fall length of rope that snaps the neck especially with the aforementioned 13 loop noose.
