The very few things I've had to kill, I've tried to be quick about it ... except of course for the spawn of demons known as roaches. Actually ... I s'pose I'm quick with them too, but it's only 'case the faster they're dead the better, not out of any sense of sympathy for the vile things.  |
Yeah, and having been trapped in an avalanche, I can attest to the fact that being frozen and suffocated at the same time is (1) painful, and (2) not as quick as one might hope.
I lasted for the better part of an hour, so they were able to dig me out, however, the freezing part was not my idea of a great way to go. The running out of air part was a little less painful, but not a lot. I think I would have rather not been conscious. So, my sympathies are going to be with the frog in the freezer in this case.
