who said anything about firearms/guns?

most contract killers I see on movies use poison, some have a stringy
type thingy where they hook it over the victims heads, others use a
knife (apparently killing is then more personal or enjoyable - go
figure, there are so many really and truly weird people out there...)

I saw a movie the other day where the evil people placed the to be
killed victim in a box with spikes... YIKES!!

and, anyway, as I understand the original post, it is intended as
humour, okay, well I guess you have to be weird like me to read is as
such?

or is this thread now truly in the weeds?
