-Hey, are we executing anyone today?
-Yeah, that guy who killed those children is getting the electric chair.
-When is it happening?
-It was supposed to happen tonight at 7.
-What do you mean?
-You know how every inmate on death row gets a last meal of their choosing?
-Yeah.
-Well, this guy requested the one thing we don't want them to ask for.
-No… you're not saying—
-I'm afraid so. He asked for a never ending pasta bowl.
-Dear God. He beat the system. No one's ever done that before.
-It's almost as if he committed the crime solely to expose this loophole.
-What are we going to do?
-We've tried everything but he won't budge. Unless we can convince him to change his order he'll spend the rest of his life eating pasta.
-Remember a few years back when that guy chose Old Country Buffet? I thought that was impressive and it only bought him a few extra hours. But this… this is genius.
-Have you seen the latest Olive Garden commercial?
-Those people have the worst sense of humor. I'd rather kill myself than eat with them.
-No, the one about how they now offer seven pastas and six sauces. That means he has 42 combinations to choose from.
-You could eat that for years without ever getting sick of it. And doesn't it come with unlimited salad and breadsticks?
-I think you're right. Damn, he's good.
-It says it all in the name, too. "Never ending." We really dropped the ball on this one.
-Hold on. I think I have an idea.
Thirty minutes later.
-What'd you do to make him ask for a burger and fries?
-I had one of the families from the Olive Garden commercials show up and sit at his table.
