BUCHAREST (Reuters) - A Romanian man plans to complain to consumer authorities about the poor quality of a rope he used in a failed attempt to hang himself, Romanian papers reported Thursday.

"You can't even die in this country," 45-year-old Victor Dodoi was quoted as saying in the daily Adevarul.

The newspaper said Dodoi's relatives found him hanging from a tree in his garden and managed to cut the rope with a knife. He was taken by horse-drawn cart and then by ambulance to a hospital in the northern town of Botosani.

Dodoi said he would file a complaint with the Consumer Protection Authority about the quality of the rope, which was easily cut, as soon as he is released.

In the U.S. you just send a cable to Bill Clinton threatening to tell everything you know.

He would have been dead within a week.

Guess now we know where the expression came from.

[SamAdams76]

I guess the expression "give them enough rope to hang themselves" doesn't apply in Romania.

....reminds me of the scene in "Crimes of the Heart" where Sissy Spacek comes down the stairs with a rope around her neck, dragging the chandelier with wiring following, clunking down the steps behind her. She says, "I'm just having a bad day...."

Here's a couple of websites that the guy should have consulted first.

Hanged by the neck until you are dead.

My mother told me there are some people who would complain even if they were hug with a new rope...

I'm not sure why...but this strikes me as extremely hysterical.

Razors pain you; Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you; And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful; Nooses give;
Gas smells awful; You might as well live.

In this country he'd be in jail charged with attempted murder of a moron.
And if it was a hemp rope...........man would he be in trouble!!!!!!!!

Positive mental attitude is good for you. I only wish some freepers were as positive as this guy is. Especially when it comes to second guessing Bush.
