The court also tossed in the calaboose Youse'll never take me alive coppers!... [BANG!]... Ow!...

| #2 Why would they want to keep an eye out on dead bodies, considering their sentences is being put to death Tana leaves, zombies and all that. Ya know, Egypt may be a bit of a mess, but el-Sisi is doing a lot better than expected. |
