A well used rope would be far softer. With either you would end up dead from a hanging but, at least a used rope would not irritate your neck as much. Do not antagonize the hangman is also sage advice. Perhaps, delivered before a good discussion before an application of a belt. We did not have cell phones or child protection services and there was far less crime.
Information overload.
