Jeez, what a morbid topic... 😛
When offered the option to choose their method of execution, my mighty Viking ancestors would select something they called "running the rope out." This involved making a long incision across one's lower belly, pulling out a loop of intestine, affixing said loop of intestine to an immobile object, and then running in a straight line until they either ripped all of their intestines, stomach, and various organs out, or died in their tracks. They did this to show how tough they were.
I, however, would prefer to die as a still-fit centenarian, in my sleep, and having left behind a will that cleverly shields my enormous personal fortune from those estate-taxing buzzards at the IRS. 😛
