Condemned inmate Patrick Knight is ready to die, and die laughing.

Knight, 39, convicted of the fatal shooting of his neighbors almost 16 years ago outside Amarillo, has been considering dozens of jokes he's been receiving in recent weeks since drawing attention for his desire to tell a joke as part of his final statement from the Texas death chamber gurney.

He's scheduled for lethal injection Tuesday evening in Huntsville.

This animal killed his neighbors execution style, and wants to tell a joke as his last statement prior to his own execution. The AP is enabling him by publishing his story.

What a world.

[Borges]

Right before he states the punchilne they should pull the plug and yell “Joke’s on you!”

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

I nominate: “Take my life—please!”

[Red Badger]

Always leave ‘em wanting more.......

[Red Badger]

“Two guards and a convict walked into the Death Chamber........

[Republican Red]

“I’d rather be in Philadelphia”

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Is he going to flash his tie and run his fingers through his hair like Letterman does afterwards?

[Frank_Discussion]

I should not laugh. I am, but I should not.

[martin_fierro]

Dying is easy.

Comedy is hard.

[SmithL]

Wow! Tough Crowd!

[Mr. K]

Three 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!!"

Reports of my demise have been greatly....ARRRGH!

[Hazwaste]

You win.

[reagan_fanatic]

“A murderer, a rapist and a pedophile walk into a death chamber...”

[dforest]

I hope this POS is alive long enough to hear the boos and jeers.

[no dems]

That will be his LAST laugh.

[hunter112]

[skimbell]
