Last words?

Obviously, one cannot know for sure, but what do you think, or want, your last words to be?

This can be the last thing you think, or say.

Me, probably: "Interesting" or "Weeeeeeeeeeee!" or "Wow!"

I think it would be cool to go out with a bang so to speak. Like standing near the top of a mountain and see a nuclear bomb go off in the distance, and see the explosion radius come toward you...Woosh!

This poses an interesting question.

Right now, my closest ties are with my family. I hope I can go happily and in their arms. In this situation, saying "I Love You" as my final words would probably make me happiest.

Should I go in some other manner, as unfathomable as it seems to me right now, I think "Wow, that was fun!" or some such.

A paraphrase of Oscar Wilde's last words. Gazing at the wallpaper of the room he lay dying in, he sighed: "Well, one of us had to go." May well be apocryphal. It is also reported that, as he lay dying and sipping Champagne, he said "Ah, well, then I suppose I shall have to die beyond my means."

I like Spike Milligans epithet (not really last words). "I told you I was sick."

And then there's the ever popular "You're standing on my oxygen tube..."


My personal favourite were the real last words of General John Sedgwick, Union Commander in the U.S. Civil War. "Snipers? They couldn't hit an elephant at this distan..."

I kid you not.

Apparently this is also the last word found on many airplane black boxes. Seriously.

I always liked "Let us cross over the river, and rest under the shade of the trees." But truthfully, it's hard to get worked up about my last words. It's the life that counts.

Knowing the way that I tend to live life, my last words will most likely be something like:
"so then I what the heAARGGGH!"
or just "huh?!?!"
If I had a choice, I would write down my last "words" then actually say, "last words"

It's hard to really say, a lot depends on the situation. But I'm assuming that it's a death that is forseen.

I'll just go with "Well, that was fun." or "Well, that sucked" depending on my mood at the time.

I'd like to go with something nice and memorable, that my kids (If I live that long) will be able to tell their kids someday, but realistically, it'll be, "Yes, I know how to do it, I've done it before. No, I won't get someone else to do it and I don't need help."

it depends on how i'm dying... if i'm lying in bed and only my wife (or a nubile young woman) is in the room, i think i'd like to say something like "i've always to die with my dick in your mouth."

if i'm skydiving and the chute doesn't open? i think i'll yell "splat."

or if i'm surrounded by my family in the hospital... "jesus? what's with the horns and all the red?"

If you're serious, what makes you think you will be when the billions of people before you havn't been?

Besides, you'll still technically have last words.
