might as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb

Expression used in resentment as a reason for doing something deemed unethical when one knows one is going to be accused of doing that thing anyway, particularly when there is much to be gained by doing it.
They are going to accuse me of doing nothing and/or of working and drawing the dole at the same time, so I might as well be hung for a sheep as for a lamb.

SHEEP ROOTER

A "sheep rooter" is primarily described as someone who very much enjoys making sexual acts with sheep. An example of a sheep rooter in 2 words is... TOM DWYER... this boys claims New Zealand to be his home country (and expects the rights and priviledges of there people) and quite frankly he isnt. He is nothing but a dirty sheep rooter. The minute I am released from prison (because i am such a big westie) BAAAhaha (and yes they do have computers in prison) i am going to kill that son of a cunt! im gonna bring my 50 down and give him a real game. If that loser fights back i will cap him in the head!!! This is tom's favorite song...
