Hung ancestors

[ForresterModern]

At least in the US hanged would describe what happened to these folk.

When I first saw the thread title "Hung ancestors" an enntirely different topic came to mind that I am not sure would be historically provable.

That's exactly what popped into my mind when I saw the topic. Of course, I thought... that's why some of us prefer to wear something that doesn't cramp us. It's inherited after all...

Hanged. (Shame on me.)

Darn, I was about to make an entry, and then I realized none of my ancestors had been "well hanged".

We give um a fair trial and a fine hangin!

Reminds me of Blazing Saddles...

"They said you was hung!"

"And they was right."
