Last Request
Two men, sentenced to die in the electric chair on the same day, were
led down to the room in which they would meet their maker. 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?" To which 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."
