Comedy is easy. Dying is hard.
Apparently, comedy is hard. And dying, it turns out in this case, is pretty easy– especially with the able assistance of the Oklahoma Corrections Department! From the CNN.com article:
Condemned prisoner Patrick Knight was executed Tuesday evening for the deaths of an Amarillo-area couple without delivering on a promise to tell a joke in his final statement.
Knight had been soliciting jokes in the mail and on a Web site, sometimes receiving as many as 20 a day.[…]
After expressing love to some friends, he said, “I said I was going to tell a joke. Death has set me free. That’s the biggest joke. I deserve this.”
With an act like that, he’s gotta close.
Randall County Sherrif Joel Richardon said it best:”Despite all the hype about his joke, it turns out he’s not much of a comedian,” he said. “He’s simply an executed cold-blooded killer.”

Traci Skene Kindle Single hilariously skewers traditional social and sexual mores as well as modern feminism. "This book is a prime example of quality over quantity."
"This book made me laugh out loud! ”

Well, I guess that means there is still plenty of virgin material for the next guy on the gurney. Like this, for example:Good evening. How you folks doin’ tonight? Good.This is the first gig I’ve gotten without an audition. Allit took was some headshots.All my life I’ve had to hide my narcotics from the law. And tonight they’re gonna give ’em to me for free.What’s with that sourpuss hiding behind the curtain? I said to him, “what, are you stuck up?” And he says, “no, but I’m gonna see that you are.”For my last meal I asked for a meal from Chez Phillipe. Of course, they didn’t know that place is booked for weeks.I don’t get it. This show sucks but my last appearance killed.By applause, how many here are from the victim’s family? And how many are here to support me? Let me ask that again in case any of you’s got that backward.Before we get started, I’d like to remind everyone that we have a two drink minimum. Except for me, I get 2 ounces.I’m getting the light, so I guess my time is up. I just wish they would bring on the headliner to finish this set.Thank you, you’ve been a great aud…..
Man, you just can’t count on a convicted murderer for <>anything<>.
Yeah, it would suck if you were the booking agent. No reliability. But then again, at least you would know what drawer to find them in when they didn’t show. (As opposed to some road comics, where you have to check the Motel 6 directory and guess where their car last broke down.)
