Local joke:
What’s a redneck’s last words?
“Hey y’all! Watch this!”
Collective conscious notwithstanding, I’d like my words to be:
“I’LL SEE YOU ALL IN HELL! HA-HA-HA-HA!”
or would that be over-the-top?
What’s another word for euphemism?
“Born in a hotel room, and-- God damn it!-- dying in a hotel room.”

Doctor Jackson, it seems that our path has crossed once again. Isn’t your quote of last words the punch line of a cruel Christa McAulliff(sp?) joke? I remember telling that joke several times in my youth.
As far as what MY last words would be, I’m not sure. I may not say anything at all, like I did (didn’t?) when I was about to be hanging upside down in a GrandAm. But, knowing me like I do, I would probably give who ever was near the “Cat’s Eye” gesture with my thumb and index finger joined in a circle. Then I could punch them in the shoulder.
(Bring back the CAT’S EYE GAME!!!)

And the foolproof way to win a million dollars is…
“Wait, I’m not ready yet.” Or maybe, “Is this all there is?”
The equation a[sup]n[/sup] + b[sup]n[/sup] = c[sup]n[/sup] has no integer solutions for n > 2. I have discovered a truly remarkable proof for this, but my breath is to weak to contain it.
Is it supposed to do that?
Dunno, Linney, I never heard that one. But I like the way you think.
How about:
“Naw, that only happens in cheesy horror flicks.”
How about “See I told you there was nothing to be scared of.”
Linney,
The joke as I heard it was " the last thing she said to her hubby? " you feed the dog, I’ll feed the fish"- sick, I know. Thank God it no longer seems funny to me. ( My GOD! I grew up! How the hell did THAT happen???)
I always wanted to go out like Polonius:
“OH! I am slain”
To that end, I’ve been lurking behind curtains lately.
Cecil said it. I believe it. That settles it.
wierddave… I too remember hearing that joke, along with the “What color were Christa McAulliff’s eyes?” one as well.
And, no offence Doctor Jackson, but I’m honestly not suprise that you hadn’t heard that joke, being that we’re in different generations. Kids can be so cruel…
I think the coolest last words would be:
“What a neat bulldog on the front of that tru…”
“You know that light everyone talks about? It aint true. I can’t see a goddamned thing.”
how did it start? well i don’t know i just feel the craving. i see the flesh and it smells fresh and it’s just there for the taking…
