Once when my girlfriend and I were going at it quite vigorously, and I was hot and sweaty and panting for breath I said (not seriously) “I’m gonna die”.

Without missing a beat her response was “Die happy”. That _really_ made me smile.

Any other ideas?

That’s not a bad way to go but for me, just about any rapid method is fine providing it lacks premonition.

At age 99, in my girfriend’s bed, shot dead by a jealous husband. 🙂
