Valid, the Impaler

pale people
paling comparisons
heads on takes
lives at stake


*paling- a fence made from pointed wooden or metal stakes
             a stake used in paling

I think those 'pale people' need to get off the fence, very astute!

So people sitting on the fence finally get the point?

It seems lots of heads on stakes, too. Timely point made, Mo.
