A death-row inmate has received Yankee slugger Jason Giambi's Golden Thong in the hopes of averting death by lethal injection Thursday.
Mr. Seymour Tuttle, a convicted mass murderer, scheduled to be executed in Houston, Texas, sent an e-mail Friday to the Yankee first baseman requesting his Golden Thong after he read that the "oh-so-chic" undergarment was worn by Giambi as a talisman to escape batting slumps.
Apparently, his request did not fall on deaf ears because in less than 12 hours, the 24-carat lamé thong, autographed by Giambi, Jeter, and Girardi, was FedExed to Mr. Tuttle care of Houston State Prison.
"I'm going to wear that thong until my ass chafes," declared Tuttle. "If it gets Giambi home runs, maybe it'll get me a reprieve."
Reports that Hillary Clinton had also requested the thong in the hopes of resurrecting a sagging Presidential campaign have not been verified.
