In (maybe)1969, I was about to pledge to a fraternity. The frat had a rush party, BYOB. I had a conversation with the only brother I really knew. He talked, oddly enough, of last words of guys he had known. He told me of a deer hunter who told him, “Don’t get yourself killed.” just before dying in a hunting accident. Vince apparently stole another brother’s Corvette upon leaving the party. His collision with a 2nd shift bartender at the edge of the college campus killed them both. ---

> [@Horseflesh](#): > > Ah, lemme think. Yeah, it was Karen Allen as Marion in _Raiders of the Lost Ark_, right? Actually, I heard the line (or variations thereof) spoken several times when I was travelling in Europe. Usually by some drunk student being expelled from a premesis for disorderly behavior, or an outraged tourist having his camera confiscated after snapping flash photos despite the multi-lingual warning signs. It was usually uttered with the confindent tone of “I’ll call the consulate and they’ll come kick your ass!” I always imagined some idiot being mugged by gypsies at knifepoint saying the same thing to the amusement of all. ---

Highjack re the **Bognor** stroy. I was told the full story was that the King was actually in his carriage leaving Bognor, having already recuperated in it’s bracing air (you know a place is crap when the best thing they can think of is the air), when one of his stewards approached him with the news; “You Highness, the major has humbly requested whether the town might have the honour of appending **Regis** to the name in commemoration of your Majesty’s recovery?” King, “Bugger Bognor! Drive on!” Steward returns to Mayor with an approximation of the exchange that had just taken place, “His Majesty is graciously pleased to grant your request.” Such is diplomacy… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/famous-last-words/224283.md?page=2) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/famous-last-words/224283.md?page=4)
