I heard this one yesterday, watching the Bob Hope Desert Pro/Am Golf tournament. As Hope, age 100, lay dying someone asked him, "Where would you like to be buried?"
"Surprise me," said Hope.

My death bed quote would be:
''God, forgive me..''
Chill out! I got this...
I should like to say:
'Ninth ring please, this heat is killing me.'
or
'I'm tired of dreaming, time to sleep'
But I'm sure I'll think of something else, and fail to say it anyway.
and to quote...
Niccolo Machiavelli said:
"I desire to go to Hell and not to Heaven. In the former I shall enjoy the company of popes, kings and princes, while in the latter are only beggars, monks and apostles"
Isaac Newton said:
"I don't know what I may seem to the world. But as to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the seashore and diverting myself now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than the ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me."
And James Thurber said:
"God bless... God damn."
'Ben,i'll always be with you'.
My favourite last words were by French dramatist Alfred Jarry: "Bring me a toothpick." He was an absurdist writer who definitely lived his life as his art. Fascinating.
Posthumously, my epitaph will read: C A Cafolini does not longer live here. Care to join?
A priest suggested to Voltaire that he reject the devil before death. He was in his deathbed: "My man, this is not a time to make enemies."
I enjoy the laughter here. It is really comforting to think that sometimes the person in the deathbed can summon up a sense of humor.
“I’ll just leaving my temporary home to be on the place where I truly belong”
To ease the pain a little bit to the people you’re going to left. [chuckle]:ihih:
I am here to pass away. If anyone wants to keep me company raise your hand.
The horror! The horror!!

"Heart of Darkness" by Joesph Conrad

Well, it's not quite a deathbed quote, however the doctors had given me less than a 50/50 chance of surviving my quintuple heart-bypass operation (It became three operations in a day).
As I was taken from IC to the OR there were a few, holdin' back tears, folk on hand.
I tried my best to think of something to say before going through the IC's doors.
The best I could do was a great, big, ole
"WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !"
I REALLY meant it, too, and wanted that to be the last words, under the urgency of being wheeled away, moi uttered.
That was 4˝ years ago.
One person told me "I wanted to LOL when you said "Wheee" but some would not have appreciated it," though I would've.
Oh yeah, on the way down the hall a nurse came up and asked, with great puzzlement in her voice, "Did he say WHEEEEE?!?!"
Stay on groovin' safari,
Tor

Is this actually true? I'd never heard of it before.Quote:
