Hangman is a great game. Good family fun they tell me. However, if your name is Nguyen Tuong Van, and you're originally from Melbourne, hangman hasn't been very fun for you. This Nguyen Tuong Van is to be executed, by hanging, in Singapore, for smuggling 400 grammes of heroin into the country, due to the exceptionally strong anti-drug laws there. However, his executioner to be has been fired. Not literally, just from his job. You see, his identity has been pasted all over the press, so this veteran of literal hangman, with over 850 executions to date in his 50 year career, so the authorities decided to hang him, erm, fire him.
You'd think Nguyen Tuong Van would be off the hook. Nope, a new executioner will be brought in to play hangman with this poor chap. You might find an ad in your local paper. I hear the pension scheme is good.
