    Firing squad for sure. More dignity.

    I'd ask for a gun with blanks in it so I could act like I was fighting back too.

    The only states in America where you can legally be executed by firing squad are Utah and Idaho. Anyone can elect firing squad in Utah, but in Idaho, I think the lethal injection has to be found unconstitutional before they put a hood over your head and shoot you to death. Gary Gilmore's last words, before he inaugurated the modern death penalty era by waiving his appeals and choosing to face a firing squad in Utah in January 1977 were: "Let's do it." Phil Knight was a witness. No Nike.

    I think the only state in America where you can legally be executed by hanging is Washington. There was something of an uproar about eight or ten years ago when a tremendously fat man (350+ I think) elected to be executed by hanging. As we all learned (or didn't learn) from the recent executions in Iraq, if you don't get the physics right with the length of the rope and the length of the drop, the person you're trying to kill can be beheaded. It used to happen fairly frequently in public hangings, and is one reason why the executioner's identity remained confidential. If you do get the physics right, hanging is an instantaneous death. If you don't get the physics right, it's either an agonizing strangulation (most lynchings were this way) or the feeling of your head being ripped from your body (makes for hell on the janitor).

    No more death penalty.
