Rope
Nobody can hear a scream in the vacuum of space, or so they say. We scream anyway. Whenever some half-drunk fool decides they want to take a chance on the Weekly Pot, we march him (almost always a him) up to the airlock like a big boozy parade. We all cheer while they suit up and enter the airlock. Once the door closes, we start to scream. It is the only way we can be heard from the sealed room while they tie themselves off with an old rope or cable. Once he is tied off, we start to scream a count-down waiting for the outer hull to open. When it opens, the chamber evacuates atmosphere and the idiot gets sucked out along with it shooting into dark space until they hit the end of the rope.
