Deathbed Witticisms: Funniest Famous Last Words

asylum.com - Steven Wright once said that he wished the first word he spoke was "quote." Then, right before he died he could say, "Unquote." While that would be the greatest last word ever uttered, we have to be realistic here and admit no one could be that cool, lest the universe implode. Nonetheless, here are some valiant efforts worth remembering, last words such as:

1. "This is no time to make new enemies."

These are supposedly the last words of the philosopher Voltaire, uttered when a priest asked him to renounce Satan. Voltaire had been a critic of the church for years and, according to some accounts, his last words, directed at a priest, were actually an angry cry: "For God's sake, let me die in peace!"

Apparently back in the day, the church wouldn't even let you die on your own terms. And it sure as heck wouldn't bury you in its cemetery after such a deathbed quote. Which is exactly why Voltaire's friends, in a final ironic twist, snuck in and buried his corpse in the Abbey of Scelli

I always thought my own last words might be, "Plug it in and we'll find out."

Hold my beer and watch this . . .

Mine will be: "Don't forget to post the pics"

Mine will be: "I'm sure the rope reaches the bottom this canyon, I'll go first even"

"And I'll try not to end up upside down!"


Something I often say at work: "What could possibly go wrong?" Of course, that's dealing with other people's life & death...
