The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 01, 2024

A walking thesaurus!!!

Kaput, fini, sayonara, ciao…

In my dictionary, the last word is Zurich, anyone else?

Enough already. He only asked for four last words.

Just stab him and be done with it!

… and now a word from our sponsors

Good thing he’s not a shoemaker: sole, heel, toe, upper, etc.

Amen.

If he were smarter, he’d want to say the names of God: all nine billion of them (Arthur C. Clarke short story, 1953).

Given how close the officer is standing to him, I’d think he might want to shout “fire”.

Roget was eventually pardoned.

“Let’s call this off”!

Last time we execute a guy named Roget

“Could someone please shut him up?!?”

Kaput!

zzyzx

If he didn’t do something deserving capital punishment before …

Not in the face, please.

Anybody who can go on and on with a lit cigarette in the mouth should be given a reprieve.

I didn’t know Roget was executed, killed, put to death, …

Groan. Just shoot me.

“Fix bayonets and charge!”

fini… aaaand fire!

Breaking his own filibuster, their reaction to Kevin McCarthy was just to take a nap.

That’s what you get for trying to execute Roget.

“Don’t mourn, organize.” —Joe Hill (1879-1915) American labor activist and songwriter, final message before being executed for murder

If that had been a US senator, he could’ve tried filibustering. That’s good for killing legislation, but the filibusterers seem to walk away unharmed. Maybe he could bore the firing squad to death.

“Hold my beer. Watch this!”

This will only take five minutes unless he is allowed foreign languages.

“It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done.”

The last word is what I say in my sleep:ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

how long will this last…?

☺

Hmm. Executing William Shatner?
