7. Gary Gilmore
“Let’s do it!”
Did you know the murderer Gary Gilmore inspired the Nike quote “Just Do It?” He was the first to be executed after the U.S reinstated the capital punishment in the 70s, saying “Let’s do it!” before he was shot. Well someone went into their execution with the right attitude!
8. George Appel
“Well, gentlemen, you are about to see a baked Appel.”
George Appel was a man who loved puns. So it’s no surprise his last words were “Well, gentlemen, you are about to see a baked Appel.” How punny.
9. Thomas J Grasso
“I did not get my SpaghettiOs. I got spaghetti. I want the press to know this.”
Inmate Thomas J Grasso had a bizarrely long list for his last meal, including a can of Spaghetti O’s. His last words were “I did not get my SpaghettiOs, I got spaghetti. I want the press to know this.” Yes, I’m sure the press cared.
