LOL. Give them a large pic of their order, and let them take it along to the gurney in the execution chamber.

I’ve always wondered how anyone could have an appetite when they know they are hours from death. I wouldn’t be able to eat at all.

It might be different if you are guilty. I can see where an innocent person might not have an appetite over being killed unfairly.

Maybe they should furlough those who request no meal at all, for they could be innocent and thus falsely convicted.

Remember how Bill Clinton in 1992 interrupted his campaigning to fly back to Arkansas to approve the execution of a mentally defective person (surname Rector, I think), who set aside his dessert from his last meal “for later.”

[Carriage Hill]

I do remember that.

[Larry Lucido]

Yeah. The caffeine would keep me up.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I always love it when they request a Diet Coke.....Why?

Well, regular Coke can cause cavities.

[Churchillspirit]

Nor me, Lizzie.

Perhaps it's a male thing.

[Jeff Chandler]

Seltzer water. Get used to that and ALL soda pop tastes overly sweet.

[Jamestown1630]

I like that. We call if ‘fuzzy water’ and buy a lemon or lime one.
