- RuffRidr, on 10/12/2007, -2/+219"What is the deal with lethal injections? Why do they sterilize the needle? It's not like you're going to die again of infection."
Crowd is silent.
"Tough crowd here tonight. You guys are killin' me!"
Taps chair. "Hello, is this thing on?" - MikeonTV, on 10/12/2007, -3/+106Three women are about to be executed for crimes. One's a brunette, one's a redhead, and one's a blonde.
Two guards brings the brunette forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ."
Suddenly the brunette yells, "earthquake!!" Everyone is startled and looks around. She manages to escape.
The angry guards then bring the redhead forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She says no, and the executioner shouts, "Ready . . . Aim . . ."
The redhead then screams, "tornado!!" Yet again, everyone is startled and looks around. She too escapes execution.
By this point, the blonde had figured out what the others did. The guards bring her forward, and the executioner asks if she has any last requests. She also says no, and the executioner shouts, Ready . . . Aim . . ."
The blonde shouts, "fire!!" - arbulus, on 10/12/2007, -4/+75A baby seal walks into a club...
- trghpy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+71Isn't this ass backwards? Wouldn't you want to ask a comedian to come tell jokes as you're being injected instead?
Knowing the jokes before hand ruins the laugh, or at least it does for me. - Anrkist, on 10/12/2007, -7/+74Texas always gets the best stories on Digg.
- falloutsyndrome, on 10/12/2007, -1/+47You can't spell slaughter without laughter. (t-shirt hell)
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+46Can't he just take some nitrous oxide?
- jimmarch1, on 10/11/2007, -9/+41He's just poking along, feeling like the state is needling him, and that life is a downer. He doesn't want to be stuck up, but rather wants to inject humor into a prickly situation that also promises to be a sleeper. He doesn't want to be tied down by life, and feels hosed by the situation...errr...I've run out :).
- n3xu5, on 10/11/2007, -2/+32Wenn ist das Nunstruck git und Slotermeyer? Ja!...
Beiherhund das Oder die Flipperwaldt gersput. - catalysis, on 10/11/2007, -2/+31Maybe we could send him one of the jokes that diggers made in the story about the girl getting her feet chopped off. Those were side-splitters.
- nite23, on 10/12/2007, -7/+25ehh.. dig this comment down pls
- strum40, on 10/12/2007, -6/+24He's probably got some killer jokes. Seriously, he's in a grave situation and is just trying to inject some humor into his last moments, he's probably already on pins and needles.
- RMoore08, on 10/11/2007, -0/+17Speaking of jokes....this comment systems seems to be one.
- bassvibes, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Now if we could all choose to die that way.
- brianboyko, on 10/11/2007, -2/+18Not knowing much about the case, the mere fact that this man was convicted by a Texas jury makes me think that his chances of being innocent are likely around 60-40.
- spurtle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16There are some people out there that just love laughing at their own jokes.
- JoshuaH, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14Death.
- CosmoKramer, on 10/11/2007, -3/+14How do you keep a Pollock in suspense?
*Hit the switch* - Boshow, on 10/11/2007, -3/+13maybe he killed his victims with laughter.
- fugazi, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Or he is already insane so he has two personalities so the one personality not telling the joke is the one that laughs...
- samuelcotterall, on 10/11/2007, -1/+11I understand why people are saying "I don't think he should be allowed to say anything" and so on, but I don't agree with the death penalty.
This guy has already spent the last decade in jail knowing that the only way out was in a wooden box - that's a pretty sorry existence. If the law is going to be so severe over his punishment then I don't begrudge the guy telling a joke.
But a greater punishment would be to spend the rest of his life behind bars, without the attention of us Digg users, to remind him what he's done. - lindseylu, on 10/12/2007, -1/+11"Everybody who is there takes it very seriously and will not be participating in the joke," she said. "So knock-knock jokes are out."
- friedcalamari, on 10/11/2007, -1/+10Who's there?
- MrJohnson, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9Well he didn't get to choose the way he wants to die. He will be dying of lethal injection. He is allowed to have his last words- and the law doesn't say he can't tell a joke. We're already taking his life away from him- he will be paying his. Let him say what he wants.
- rnwen2750, on 10/11/2007, -0/+9If he's not white, the chances of him being innocent are around 70%.
- wild, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11Knock knock...
- zooxbeirut, on 10/11/2007, -2/+11It would have to be a REALLY good joke
- elsJake, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7Well i do believe we're all humans , and as long as we continue to kill each other (even as a form of punishment) at least we should do that in the least brutal way.
Let the man die happy , it's not going to kill you. - strum40, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7At least I got to tell my joke before I got buried.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6So has everybody else, but thanks for informing us.
- stan182, on 10/11/2007, -3/+9I've seen that as a war strategy in monty python.
- thewump, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6I don't think you can really make an educated case about whether he should say something one way or the other until you know what joke he's going to tell.
- boituma, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Yo mama's so fat, she walked the green mile by rollin over
- Akaji, on 10/11/2007, -4/+9I dunno, Florida's got some pretty insane ones.
- Antha, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Two guys walk into a bar. The first says to the second, "I didn't see it either."
- zeklown, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7The kind you would "kill" for?
- omnirusa, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6You know, not all of us have a view of death like yours.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6But... That's not funny...
- nite23, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6...looks like the audience will die laughing too :-]
- intuitivesoul, on 10/12/2007, -4/+8He wants to have the Last Laugh?
- tech42er, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Just got it. It was somewhat funny, but it didn't kill me.
- DiggzDE, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6You do know that that day has come. So I am sure he has already come to an understanding that he is going to die and simply wants to make it easier for him before he is killed.
- undersky, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5ur comment was very good, i am sorry that i accidentally dugg u down when i tried to digg u up...
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Have you heard of a wonderful website called Google?
- 8300dvo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3dude that punch line was killer
- milo3600, on 10/11/2007, -1/+4A surrealist walks into a want fries with that.
- tech42er, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Two fish are in a tank. The first says to the other: "You drive; I'll shoot."
