"Let's Do It": Famous Last Words Of Executed Criminals

Most of the time people don't get to pick their last words. Executions are an exception.

While strapped into the electric chair or tied to a noose or standing before a firing squad, criminals have spoken dramatic one-liners that became famous.

Aileen Wuornos: "I’ll be back like Independence Day"

" I’d just like to say I’m sailing with the rock, and I’ll be back like Independence Day, with Jesus June 6. Like the movie, big mother ship and all, I’ll be back.”

While working as a prostitute, Aileen Wuornos reportedly killed six men between 1989 and 1990, claimed they attempted to rape her. At her Oct. 9, 2002, execution by lethal injection, Wuornos stated, "I’d just like to say I’m sailing with the rock, and I’ll be back like Independence Day, with Jesus June 6. Like the movie, big mother ship and all, I’ll be back.”

Wuornos' life has been the subject of Hollywood speculation, including Charlize Theron's famous 2003 movie 'Monster', as well as a 1992 documentary "Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer," made by Nick Broomfield.

John Wayne Gacy: "Kiss My Ass"

"Kiss my ass."

The "killer clown" tortured, raped, and murdered 33 men between 1972 and 1978. John Wayne Gacy earned his moniker, and possibly started the scary clown phobia, because he dressed up as Pogo the Clown to entertain at kids' birthday parties.

One of America's most famous serial killers was arrested in 1978,  and  executed on May 10, 1994. His famous last words are also a popular angry retort.
