A collection of famous last words.
Dying is no laughing matter I suppose but it sure is a life changing experience. At least that’s what they tell me. The ones that haven’t died, that is.
Came across this web site and picked out my favorite Famous Last Words:

Joseph Froncioni
Hey bro,
When we rolled dad into the hospital, the first instructions he gave us sounded about the same as, "Dammit... Don't you dare ask God to help me".
He had us put a big sign at the nurses desk instructing that no priest was to come within 50 ft of him or else....of course he had a smile on his face when he asked us , but we knew he wasn't fooling around.
Cheers
Mikey
