Do you want 'fries' with that?

Three months ago, John Bolt became the oldest man in Oklahoma to be executed. He was 74 years old. The former used car salesman and evangelistic preacher was executed for killing his 22-year-old stepson.

Before they pulled the switch, he requested for his last meal. He ordered Kentucky Fried Chicken (original recipe, of course), potato wedges, baked beans, cole slaw, an apple turnover and a dinner roll.

How do I know this piece of morbid death-row trivia? I was surfing the 'Net last night, looking for something else, and I stumbled upon a rather unique website called “Dead Man Eating” At this site, you can find out who ate what among Death Row inmates dating back to 2002. Readers also send in submissions their “last meals.’’

So in case you're wondering what Robert Salazar of Texas had for his last bites, he ordered up a dozen tamales and six brownies. James Willie Brown, put to death by lethal injection in Georgia in November 2003, scarfed down a foot-long chili dog, strawberry ice cream and a 7-up.

I've been doing some heavy thinking. No need to worry about calories or cholesterol.
If I ever get sent to death row, here is my last meal:

Fried chicken
Fried okra
Turnip greens
Squash casserole
Cornbread
Sweet tea
Chocolate cake

If you haven’t figured it out by now, I live in the South. That’s a dead giveaway, no pun intended.
