    The last utterings of sense from the mouth before death. Do you think you could come up with something witty or thought provoking just before your time comes. Depending on the circumstances of your death obviously. Here's some examples of famous peoples last words.

    "I'm shot": John Lennon to his wife and a security guard of the Dakota Building in NY.

    "Now I shall go to sleep, Goodnight": Lord Byron.

    "I knew it! Born in a hotel room, and God dam it, died in a hotel room": Eugene O'Neill.

    "Hey Fellas, how about this for a line for tomorrow's paper? French Fries": Murderer James French sent to the electric chair in 1966.

    "I know you've come to kill me, Shoot! Do it! Shoot me you coward you're only going to kill a man" : Che Guevara.

    That's a great one I'd forgotten about. He had throat cancer I believe he switched from the hard burning Scotch. I supposed he realised on his deathbed what was the point of it. Interestingly he never relented on his 60 plus a day cigarette habit. A famous chain smoker, he used to say he only needed one light for the day, he'd bridge the rest.

    There was once a British expedition through the jungles of Africa. At one point, they saw a menacing-looking tribe ahead with weapons at the ready. The leader of the expedition, a rather pompous chap, was dismissive of the tribe's capability to halt their progress, and said,

    " Don't worry, lads, those primitive people couldn't shoot an elephant from that dist..."

    That sounds a lot like the general in the american war of independence who said much the same thing about a sniper

    I couldn't think of any good famous last words, but I always thought that epitaph was classic Milligan :o

    He was being interviewed on the Late Late Show one night and off camera there was a loud crash and bang... without missing a beat, Spike quipped-

    "Somebody with tin knickers on" :pac:


    EDIT: Found a clip, 9:48 in :D

    A Caesar whose name escapes, might have been Claudius; "oh dear, I think I'm becoming a god".

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Ned Kelly had some interesting things to say before his hanging.

    When told he was to be hanged at 10 he replied "Such is life"

    As he was taken out, he passed a flower bed and remarked "what a nice little garden"

    Right before his hanging he merely said "Ah, well, I suppose it has come to this"
