Dead Man Pizza…homeless say yummy!
Executed man gets last meal wish after he dies
NASHVILLE, Tennessee (Reuters) – A convicted murderer put to death in Tennessee this week got his last meal wish after he died.
Philip Workman had turned down the usual final meal of his choice traditionally offered the condemned, asking instead that a vegetarian pizza be given to a homeless person.
Prison officials refused to send out a pizza and Workman died Wednesday by lethal injection.
But news accounts of his request touched a nerve with the public.
Nashville’s Union Rescue Mission received 170 pizzas. Media reports said listeners to a radio station in Minnesota also ordered pizzas sent to another organization for troubled youngsters.</em>
Note to Tennessee: When performing state murder, try not to be such a DICK about it…
