A
Prisoner's Last Request
Two men,
sentenced to die on the same day, were led down to the room where the electric
chair was. The priest had given them last rites, the formal speech had been
given by the warden, and a final prayer had been said among the participants.
The warden, turning to the first man, solemnly asked, "Son, do you have a
last request?"
The man replied, "Yes sir, I do. I love dance music. Could you please play
the Macarena for me one last time?"
"Certainly," replied the warden.
He turned to the other man and asked, "Well, what about you, son? What is
your final request?"
"Please," said the condemned man, "Kill me first."
