For those against the death penalty...
 

... inmates about to die say some funny things!

Some of these "famous last words" are hilarious!

My favorites:


:thumbsup:

Even I don't know how this is funny.

"I'd like you to give my love to my family and friends."
-- Ted Bundy, executed in Florida on January 24, 1989

I don't really get it, either.

I suppose I find a handful of them amusing because instead of using their last words to express love or regret (or even make some philosophical comment on death), some of these inmates chose instead to comment on sports teams, spaghettios, and telling so-and-so to kiss their ass.

"When I die, bury me deep, lay two speakers at my feet, put some headphones on my head and rock and roll me when I'm dead. I'll see you in Heaven someday. "
-- Douglas Roberts, executed in Texas on April 20, 2005

yeah not following either tbh.

"Go Raiders!"

WTF?!?!

Same. I don't see the humor in someone else's death, regardless of who they are or what they've done.

I must be a little off kilter as I can see the humour in this.

My vote is also for not funny.

Years ago I knew a priest once assigned to the Oregon State Pen. He told me about an execution he attended back in the sixties. Attended? Not sure that's even the right word. At any rate he said several State Police Troopers, some of the condemned man's family and one newspaper reporter were basically the only witnesses. Said the troopers were drunk, laughing, joking, and cussing at the commended. After they gassed the guy he asked to speak with the troopers and explained there's a special place in hell for people who behave like they did. The way he told the story they were all white as ghost when he was done and suddenly sober.

Some things just aren't funny.

I guess I am, too. I find humor in their words, not their deaths.

*Grumbles*

NVM

If they were about to be executed, and their last dying words were "I love you mom" so something else equally as sad or poignant, then it wouldn't be humor. But when a serial killer says "Redskins are going to the Super Bowl." then its funny.
