The guy who was thrown into the river to sink was given one last request. "If I'm gonna be sleeping with the fishes," he said, "can I at least have a pillow? I'm real sensitive." The mafia bosses laughed. "Look, my doctor said I can only use wooden pillows, I have a real serious condition. Can I at least die comfortable-like?" The mafia dudes said fine, and let him have his pillow. They tossed him the river and drove off...and after a minute, he bobbed to the top, thanks to his floating wood pillow.
