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.

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

Congress?

Cut his tongue out and feed it to him. Then let him tell his funny little joke.

When that murderer stands before God, it won’t be a joke.

Gosh, he wants to tell a joke, see? Even cold blooded, ultiple murderers have redeeming qualities (gag), we should release him and not add to our crime of allowing Tootsie or whatever to die.

If we insensitive Neanderthals allow another killer to be killed, our punishment will be....a bad joke, exacerbated millions of times by media repetition. Adding insult to injury. And adding, and adding, and adding...

I don't get it.

Of course, I don't speak German, either.

Handpick the witnesses/audience for the joke.

Let him tell the joke.

When he wonders why no one laughed explain: “We imported them from Russia yesterday. They don’t understand English.”

Then insert needle.

This is really really sad. I don’t understand his desire for jokes. I think I believe him when he says he doesn’t remember all of it clearly. But I don’t understand him wanting to turn this into a comedy routine.
