When I got in my car accident, the last words I spoke before being hit by the truck and spun around like a top were “Oh, SHIT!” I hope I can do better than that when the time comes.

I’ve read that cockpit voice recorders capture those particular last words more than any others.

See, I totally plan on quoting Shakespeare, or some other poet or author. At the moment I think I would go with Shelly’s

```
My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!

Bye, Opal!

Actually, wouldn’t it be embarrasing to have a great last quote, then…waiting…silence…a bunch of people look at each other …“Is he…” “No, no, not yet…” More waiting. Someone coughs. Shuffling of feet. “Now?” “No, still alive…”

Me:“Jeez, I’m sorry guys, I thought that was it. Umm…can we just pretend what you just heard was the last thing…and then when I do…you know…yeah. Could someone hand me my juice box?”

I always wanted to say, “The gold … is in the …”
