Last Words....

To commemorate my last 'normal' blog post, I thought it was fitting to do something sort of special and different than my other posts. On that note, enjoy the weirdest last words by death row inmates!

A person's last words before they pass away can often be prophetic, profound, poetic, or just plain dumb. The following statements fall into that last category.  Now, this might seem a bit mean spirited, but keep in mind that these people knew that these statements would be recorded and held for public record.

James Jackson

Executed in Texas on February 7, 2007 for a triple murder.
“…I'm ready to roll. Time to get this party started.”

Aileen Wuornos
Executed in Florida on October 9,1992 for seven murders.
“I'd just like to say I'm sailing with the Rock and I'll be back like Independence Day with Jesus, June 6, like the movie, big mothership and all. I'll be back.”

Westley Allan Dodd
Executed in Washington on January 5, 1993 for molesting and killing two children.
“I was once asked by somebody, I don't remember who, if there was any way sex offenders could be stopped. I said no. I was wrong.”

Clarence Ray Allen

Executed in California on January 17, 2006 for 3 murders.
“My last words will be, 'Hoka hey, it's a good day to die.'…”

George Harris

Executed in Missouri on September 13, 2000 for a murder.
“Somebody needs to kill my trial attorney.”

My Personal Favorite:

Thomas J. Grasso

“I did not get my SpaghettiOs, I got spaghetti. I want the press to know this.”

I admire how the man is literally, seconds away from death, and his mind is on the Spaghetti-O's that he never received as his last meal.  That's what I call playing the long hand in a joke.
