San Antonio, US-A Texas man scheduled to be executed today said he want to die laughing.
Patrick Knight, 39, has been soliciting jokes on the internet and planned to tell one of them before receiving a lethal injection, Texas Department of Criminal Justice spokeswomen Michelle Lyons said Monday. “He says he wants to keep his execution light,” she said.
Knight, a convicted murderer, wrote on his Web site: “I want to people to sent me their best jokes and to keep me…..laughing.”
Knight will be allowed to tell his joke, but none of his executioners will be laughing, Lyons said.
“Everybody who is there takes it very seriously and will not be participating in the joke,” she said. “So Knock- Knock jokes are out.”
