Joke's on us

Last month a Texas death-rower put out a call on the internet for a joke to tell at his execution. The story was picked up by the media ... which then reported, following his death, that Patrick Knight had had the last laugh ... he did not include a joke in his final statement. But perhaps that was the joke.
And speaking of executions, US style, a colleague (that would be you Steph) recently said that he thought it was shocking that anyone should be put to death in the electric chair. Alas, too late, he realised that he could have chosen his words a little more sagely if he wanted his point to be taken seriously.
