Dude how many times did they escape? Did Britain not know how to keep prisoners locked up so they had to ship them to the colonies?!

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.
