ZZ Top was once offered over a million dollars to shave their beards for a Gillete commercial. They refused.
A Tennessee man on death row, in 2007, requested that he NOT be given a last meal and instead that the officers should buy a pizza and give it to the first homeless man they saw.
His request was denied.
Edit: Had to add this one. The personal journal entry of King George of England noted a simple sentence on July 4th, 1776.
"Nothing of any interest happened today". Besides the American colonies of being in the process of declaring independence, right? (Note, the actual signing and everything actually took SEVERAL days in early July, nor was independence for the United State of America even declared on the 4, but the date was chosen for the anniversary date instead of like the whole first week of July.)
