A funny thing happened on the way to the electric chair...
LIVINGSTON, TEXAS -- Convicted murderer Patrick Knight is collecting jokes and will pick the funniest for his last statement before his execution June 26.
He was condemned for shooting his neighbors, Walter and Mary Werner, to death almost 16 years ago outside Amarillo.
Randall County Sheriff Joel Richardson said, "This tells you a little bit about the guy's character, anyway." Richardson was chief deputy at the time of the Werners' killings and plans to witness Knight's execution.
Knight concedes there's nothing funny about his execution."I'm not trying to disrespect the Werners or anything like that," he said from Death Row.
He's had about 250 wisecracks mailed to him or e-mailed from a friend who has a Web site for him.
Stop, you're killing me!
