Those ropes are so short they must be intended for the king…. I mean, fink.

At least he didn’t lose his head.

The union talks are leaving the rank and file hanging.

The union leaders believe they have the Fink chained to the wall, the Fink’s negotiators have the union leaders on the rack.

How do you relieve an executioner from his duties?

You do it with a firing squad.

What kind of coffee does an executioner drink?

Decap

How are a bad cameraman and an executioner similar?

They both cut off heads.

Cut him noose…

I think the Fink should negotiate carefully with the Executioners’ Union or he could be at the end of their rope.

Gallows humor.

Just hang on, it’ll end…one way or another!

Depending on how the negotiations go you could be.

Hang in there, Bro

So…you’re saying that you don’t have quite enough rope to hang yourself?

Talk about a poor choice of words!

Go on strike. The cells will fill up.

Huh. I wonder if the hangman is a civil servant? I always thought of him as more of a contractor, but I guess he could be on a payroll.

He’s probably wondering how he got roped into the job…

Executioner Dad Joke.

He’ll be reassigned to Thrax.

“And to make matters worse, everyone beats me at ‘Hangman’…”

Contract talks going that loopy, huh?

You need to buy more rope.

Bad noose travels fast.

Not the rope I want to be at the end of.

oh the irony

I don’t see the trap door. Are they supposed to sit?

No more hangings?

They need to reach an acCORD.

RIMMMMMM-SHOTTTTTTTT!!!

Let’s not get the writers guild roped in on this one…

Please, I wish they wouldn’t leave me hanging…

Gallows Guild Foremen always stretch things a bit!

Business is dying to get better.

Bring the other parties to your worksite so you can better explain it to them.

Shouldn’t there be a drummer nearby for a rim shot?

That’s a joke son, a joke.

Wheres Mike Pence?

If the hangman is at the end of his rope, wouldn’t his head be in the noose! Yip yip yip yip yip
