Huh, Jack Sheppard was eventually hung for stealing. That's fucking barbaric.
So if I steal, I can get ... uh ... bigger?
@WarlockLawyer@lemmy.world This is a joke about hanged v. hung. You'd use "hanged" when a person was subjected to hanging until dead. It's "hung" for the past tense of "to hang", e.g. "She hung a picture on the wall". Plus, "hung" can also mean "having a large penis", which apparently @finallymadeanaccount@lemmy.world does not.
It's big. I just want it bigger. I like the idea of it hitting my knees when I walk around nude.
Sure thing, dude.
Bet he didn't do it again
Might as well be hanged for a sheep as a lamb.
I mean after the billionth time you gotta lay down the law. /s
