    I have concern for the mental wellbeing of the individual that could conjure option 2.

    Option 3 is the stuff of nightmares as well.
    Where are we going? And what’s with this hand basket?

      Option 1 is perverse as well.

      But if I HAD to choose, option 3 has the upside of being able to slap him every day.

        Even better if a range of power tools were at one's disposal.

          Option 1 is perhaps the easiest, and quickest to do.

            Could I combine 1 and 3? I'm fairly sure I could do 1 on the back of a fag packet while I was clubbing Prescott like a baby seal.

                I assume number five is a standing joke, but I don't fully understand number one.

                    None of the above.

                    Better to live poor with principles, than rich with no scruples.
                    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
