In one of the Discworld novels (I disremember which), the patrician of Ankh-Morpork is described as believing in giving everyone a fair chance:  Criminals would have their legs and lips cut off and promised their freedom if they could run through the city playing a trumpet.

Just for the record: the world of the novel seems very interesting and it reminds me with Sin City -the movie; not the comics because I didn't read them-. I might give it a try, I'm saying "might" because I never read novels they are too long and require a mood different from my videogame+movie post 2000s mood.

Well, in the words of that one guy who was around when it all began; "Ugly is as ugly does."
