[QUOTE=Barbarian]  
When I was hit by an 18-wheeler and thought I _was_ going to die, …  
[/QUOTE]

I was in the same position. I had been hit a few times by semis and spun around. I opened my eyes and looked left to see another truck grill coming fast. What did I think?

“So…there you have have it. Is this the end of Rico?”

Not so dramatic, but I had been spun around across a few lanes of I-75 in north Atlanta at the interchange of I-285 and I wasn’t at my best.

Oscar Wilde’s last words were, “Either this wallpaper goes, or I do.”

Hard to top that.

When I was about to hit the ground in the plane crash I was in, and fully expecting to die, my last words were “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA”.

If I had time to plan it, I’d say “Aurë entuluva!” That’s Quenya for “Day shall come again”.

Maybe not my day, granted. But day.

Not original, somebody on the Dope posted it originally, but I’d like to use it when I die, oh, 75 years from now, and if the setup is right.

“Have you made your peace with Jesus/God?”

“I didn’t know we’d fought. [Buh-dum-puh.\*]”

- I’d add this, well, if I had time.

“And now, you’ll never know where I planted the explosives. HA-HA-HAAA!”  
The above is a “joke”. A witticism, intended to engender yucks. Humor-impaired Mods should not confuse it with anything else.
