Kill the chicken to scare the monkey<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What is the meaning Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is quite easy and examples <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can be found throughout history <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It means one might punish a single person <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Or a group as an example <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To deter others from behaving identically <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even in the UK there have been examples <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of young man being executed as an example <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even though he did not commit the actual murder<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some soldiers were shot at dawn as examples to others <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That has been very well documented<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There were even mutinies during war <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Again there were a number of examples <\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe where do you stand on capital punishment <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Normally on the scaffold Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Funny man but seriously <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I dislike capital punishment <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Why <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I do not believe that the state should have the power to take life <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This said I am also a realist and there are crimes that are so ghastly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That one does think about it <\/p>\n\n\n\n
At present I am undecided <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A question what would you do if a pirate ship <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chased our yacht <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I would defend the yacht <\/p>\n\n\n\n
With what <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You are going to hate me but this boat is armed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That is illegal Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So is murder rape and robbery <\/p>\n\n\n\n
One has to use common sense <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am so cross with you Joe <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We all agreed to discuss everything <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie does have a point <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole thing is an abstract Sephine <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are unlikely to be attacked <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But there is always the chance <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Think about it this way <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We carry safety equipment for obvious reasons <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The whole thing boils down to common sense <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nothing else <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I thought this was going to be a democratic voyage <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But you have decided to become the leader of the band <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie what is that over there <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A Frigate Bird <\/p>\n\n\n\n
No over there <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A large ship<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you find on ships Josie <\/p>\n\n\n\n
People <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do you call the person in charge<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The captain <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So you are the captain of this yacht <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Joe leave her alone <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes leave me alone <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otherwise I punch you on the nose <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do I sense a mutiny <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I think he should make him walk the plank <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agreed <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Put him in our dingy and set him adrift <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Abandon him on the Pitcairn Islands <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That will be hard Sephine as we have just left Ibiza <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is all getting very silly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Josie a coffee please <\/p>\n\n\n\n
