No last minute phone calls Login/Join

I remained closed to the telephone all night just in case the Governor or President might call with a last minute pardon, commutation, or stay of execution. The appointed hour arrived with no calls received, thus the condemned was placed into a roasting pan, then into an oven with the power turned on. There will be a private family ceremony later in the day, after which I plan a little RIP on the couch while dozens of young men demonstrate their athletic talents on a football field.

Enjoy!

Obviously there was no pardon then. Did the condemned have any last words or wishes? Wink

Happy Thanksgiving all! Smile

Yes. He said. "Gobble, gobble gobble gobble!"

His last wishes will be respected.
