lianbeng asked hokkien: if 15g of heroin is enough to smell the noose, how many times must they be hanged for 1900g? 126 times ah! 126 / 7 people = 18! so each person must go thru the gallows 18 times maybe the noose cannot take the weight liao!

 

[hokkien]

Bro lianbeng I heard from old birds that if one got caught with 50gram it might not be hang it depends on how pure the drug is.After washing it might be 5 gram pure only.Wonder you heard before?

lianbeng replies hokkien: open history textbook to... the northern kingdom attacked the southern kingdom during those warring eras...and captured those prisoners of war...the northern king wanted to totally eradicate that entire nation so some wise guy thought of this idea to devise a mobile gallow mounted on horse cart wheels with a long noose to fish up those prisoners and hang up for all to see to be baked alive under the hot sun...however, 1 of the prisoners of war happened to uncover the plot of this wise guy who actually wanted to overthrow the kingdom and usurp the king's power...so instead of hanging those prisoners of war the king hanged that wise guy who invented the gallows! end of story!
