Note: Although i'm somewhat against capital punishment, i found this humorous (i keep on laughing everytime i read it, damnit!):



<< 33 armed guards were on hand just in case any radical anti-government group decided to try to rescue the man. However, Porthos, Athos, and Aramis failed to materialize. >>



This was taken from a &quot;fake news&quot; brief on McVeigh's execution. You won't get the joke unless you know who the 3 musketeers are :D

Even though I know who the 3 Musketeers are, it still isn't funny to me...and I was prepared to laugh at McVeigh. You disappoint me:(;)

The Musketeers were sworn to protect the king of France. Was McVeigh French?

Bah, only ATers could be so uptight as to not get a joke like this. Back to SA forums for me.

Lol, no, it's just poking fun at the fact that nobody gave a damn about McVeigh's life, and the musketeers are known to rescue people out of impossible situations.

Edit #2: Sigh, it's no fun if i have to explain the whole joke in its minute details... the funny lies in the sarcasm of the musketeer statements!
GEEZ PEOPLE, LETS GET WITH THE PROGRAM HERE! ;)

Oh, and last night, the SAers were debating what Timothy McVeigh would have for his last meal, and one guy was like:



<< Lethal Injection Antidote? >>



I think i wet myself after that one :)

May the lord fogive me...

I find no humor in it because I wasn't aware that the 3 muskateers rescued obviously guilty people that kill women and children.

Overheard in the anteroom to the execution chamber:

&quot;Damn it, I hate it when a plan doesn't come together...&quot;

I don't think anyone got my joke.

(hint: someone else known for rescuing people out of impossible situations)
