So long, farewell!
It’s your one last chance to make a mark on this Earth. What will you say when that time comes? Will you go out with a bang?

1. “Given the choice of dying or listening to you on more minute, Id rather-“

2. I’m kind of partial to actual last words in history. I read one once where a commander was standing too close to a battle and someone advised him to back away, the commander said…

22. Unfortunately for our hero, St. Lawrence was sentenced to death. The method of execution? He was to be tied to an iron grill over a slow fire that roasted his flesh.
After a sustained period cooking to death on the grill, St. Lawrence turned to his persecutor and said “Turn me over, I’m done on this side!”
And just before he died, he said, “It’s cooked enough now.”

30. When we were kids having sleepovers, I had one friend who would insist upon ending every night’s bedtime conversation with the word “[butt]” just as he drifted off to sleep, so that it would be his last word if he didn’t wake up.
Years later, I often carry on the tradition, especially if I’m somewhere new or shady or just want people to know that my last word was “[butt]”.

33. Del Close (the father of improv) on his deathbed famously said “I’m tired of being the funniest person in the room” after having the nurse give him a near lethal dose of morphine.
34. I would love to just point at a random person(hopefully not someone who works at the hospital or family) and say “I blame them.” Loud enough for them to hear it. This all depends on how I go out.

35. I remember a story when my father was close to death. He had a friend sitting next to his bed talking to him and a nurse at the end of the bed doing her nurse thing. He had no idea his friend was next to him so he said to the nurse “what are you, a bloody ventriloquist?” He was a funny guy right to the end.
