Reminds me of a joke. Three European slave traders are captured by an African tribe. The Chief tells them they have been found guilty and may choose as punishment either Death or Ogee. The first guy chooses Ogee. "I don't want to die", he says.

The two awaiting their turn to decide their fates are up all night listening to the first guy's scream as the entire tribe takes turns screwing the first guy up the ass till the break of dawn.

The second guy is then offered the same decision as the first - "Death or Ogee."

"Oh God, that sounded awful last night", he says, "but I don't want to die." He chooses Ogee and the night is filled with his screams, going on even longer than the first guy's agony.

The following day the Chief approaches the sole remaining slave trader and asks the same question: "Death or Ogee?" As a result of listening to two nights of endless screaming he decides to go with death.

"I choose death", he tells the Chief.

"Very well", says the Chief - "Death - by 'Ogee'............!"


Your flogging vs execution comment reminded me of that joke.
