Hangman Prevention

There was a man who was getting ready to be hanged by the politicians of Aaronztown City. The only way he could ignore death was to convince the mayor to make the politicians change their mind. So he did.

“Hello Mayor Green, I am here to discuss important matter.”

“Okay. Very well. Do you want to make any comments before we begin?”

“Yes. Do you mind if I examine the things around here before we begin?”

“Yes.”

Darn. Okay, my first question. Do you mind if I do not get hung by the politicians?”

“Yes.”

But, I have a family, a long life ahead of me, and lots of friends. Are you sure you mind?”

Yes.”

The man growled furiously.

“Do you mind if I don’t kill you before I get hung?”

“Yes.”
