I heard the Quakers were "hung" almost as good as the blacks.

Richard Nixon was a Quaker, wasn't he, Tom?  Now there's a visual I can do without.

Well spotted T-dog
 
Snow' launch post using "hanged" is correct.
 
"Hung" is indeed a description of his pre-breakfast self-appraisal sessions in the mirror. The sin of pride................
