Today’s Unintimidated Yet Truly Morbid Fact!
¿Quién es más macho?
Former policeman Frank Coppola was obviously not intimidated by the thought of his own execution. “What the hell?” he remarked, “We all have to die. At least I can say when.” When the fateful hour arrived and Coppola was strapped into the electric chair, he turned to the execution team and barked, “Fire it up!”
Records show that Coppola had a long history of such tough, gritty behavior. He once went so far as to swallow spiders and razor blades to demonstrate his manliness. We’re not sure about the significant of his last meal, but at this point in time there are no regions of the world where eating a cheese and egg sandwich is considered exceptionally macho.
