The throat of the first guy through the door when they come to take me to the death chamber. ---

Probably just ginger ale, because my stomach would be doing flip flops. ---

> [@Sudden\_Kestrel](#): > > $50 worth of crispy bacon, please. I like the way you think. Maybe throw in a head of lettuce, a big plate of sliced tomato, a jar of mayo, and 2 loaves of toasted bread. I may just have to reconsider my original submission. ---

Jagerschnitzel like they make it in Germany. I haven’t had it nearly as good here as I had it over there. ---

A ridiculous amount of shrimp scampi, cheddar bay biscuits, and mashed potatoes. And a joint (not that I’d get it). ---

I’d eat all those fattening things I’ve been avoiding to live longer! A big gooey pizza from Uno or Giordano’s in Chicago A rack of ribs from Dinosaur BBQ (Upstate NY) One of those “Onion Blossoms” And a ton of desserts (thick dark chocolate cake a la mode, some Moon Pies, a warm cherry pie, and a dozen donuts) I really hope I’ll get to do this. Not in prison, but if I have some warning of my demise, I’ll get to splurge on a last meal (or in the case of “You have a month to live”, 30 or so). I’ve told my doc “I can take the bad news as long as you then whip out a box of Krispy Kremes.” ---
