    Famous last words

    General Pain 05-29-2008, 08:17 AM http://www.findthebesthere.com/last_...ge1_110206.htm

    ********************

    Poor Merchant 05-29-2008, 04:15 PM I liked the Saki quote - it reminded me of the superstition about never lighting three cigarettes with the same match (although in England these days it's getting harder to find three people lighting up at the same time).

    ********************

    boogiedowndonovan 05-29-2008, 06:27 PM The best quote is from Gen. John Sedgwick (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Sedgwick)


    They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist. . . .


    right before a Confederate sniper got him.



    speaking of last words, anyone out there hear about the convict Dallas Cowboys fan who's last words were 'How about them Cowboys'

    Madam, that was the most obscene display of wanton sexual perversion that it has ever been my pleasure to witness. Bravo, and thank you
    Spoken just before her HUSBAND walked in on us!!!

          "Oh Crap, his is going to hurt."
          Fuck being a hero. Do you know what you get for being a hero? Nothing! You get shot at. You get a little pat on the back, blah blah blah, attaboy! You get divorced... Your wife can't remember your last name, your kids don't want to talk to you... You get to eat a lot of meals by yourself. Trust me kid, nobody wants to be that guy. I do this because there is nobody else to do it right now. Believe me if there was somebody else to do it, I would let them do it. There's not, so I'm doing it.

            OK, I can take this one of two ways:

            1) Mis-typing of the word "his."
            2) A woman's famous last words.

              I'm guessing the last words of someone in the navy Or maybe prison.

                actually it should read...

                  I like my second interpretation better...

                  In the words of comedian Bill Maher: "Yes, officer, I killed her with my dick."

                    Not in combat, but Oscar Wilde reportedly said, "Either that wallpaper goes, or I do."

                      Not last words, but an 18th century French Marshal (de Saxe, IIRC) died at age 70+, after having been visited in his country chalet by a troop of actresses. The cause of death was recorded as, "an excess of joy."

                      Last words not recorded, but I'm sure he was smiling....

                        Hey that guy is nothing. One of our President, Felix Faure, died at the age of 58 (1899) while making love to his mistress. And Americans are making a big deal about a president acting as a college boy.

                        As a result, George Clemenceau declared that "Felix Faure returned to nothingness". That is of course, the official one. At the time, it was said that he died from a blowjob (untrue/unverified). Another saying about Felix Faure by Clemenceau is very hard to translate: "Il voulu atre Csar, il ne fut que Pompe" (He wanted to be caesar, he was only pumped". Then, his mistress (Marguerite Steinhell) was nicknamed the "funeral pump".

                        By the way that shouldn't be the Marshal de Saxe (that one died at 54, from a mortal wound resulting from a duel).

                          Wilde died a penniless social outcast in Paris, and sipping champagne on his deathbed said "Alas, I am dying beyond my means."
