Dead Or Alive Puns

I would pick someone alive.

I'd definitely choose alive.

Robin Williams. The dead version I guess, since you gave me the option.

You remember the story of Jack and the Beanstock? Imagine if Jack had red hair.

Hints:

Fee-fi-fo-fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman,
Be he alive, or be he dead
I'll grind his bones to make my bread.

This one is a bit dark.

Ok, too subtle perhaps:

>!Outside of the U.S., red heads are generally called "gingers". Thus, redhead Jack is a ginger, and if the giant makes his bread from Jack's bones, he has made bread out of a ginger, which makes it...!<

Dead or alive, it sounds like a super position.

She hands me a wadded up paper towel and says "Throw this away outside. It's some kind of beetle. I don't know if it's dead or alive." I responded "Awww, couldn't you just 'let it be'?"
