"Essayer de tousser maintenant"...
(Now try to sneeze)
which was the last line of Julie's husband in Three Colours Blue.

Which raises another issue - what about people who die whilst telling a long rambling story? There should be a website where you can seek closure for anecdotes - perhaps "Ends reunited"?

I'd like my last gasp to be something like "worse things happen at sea" - I like the expression because it is both true and completely irrelevant

Of course there's every chance that it could be "oh sh*t" - quite a common ending I suspect.

Don't shoot me, I'm a cop!!!

So is this the way to the lifeboats?

Is it safe?

I think the most common ones are things like:

"Hey look at this"

or

"See what I can do"

Quickly followed by an ever so brief but undoubtedly painful show of bravado.

"Nonsense! There are no sharks in these waters."

There's always the classic
"They couldn't shoot an elephant from that dist-"

"It's harmless"

"And what does this button do?"

"So where do I put me head"

They couldn't hit a barn ..... at that distance(which ended up being used as a name )Barnes by quatumn physcisits
Also i love the W.C.Fields tombstone."On the whole i'd rather be in Philadelphia"

Life is devine. To survive is more devine. But to die is the most devine of all.

Hey! Anyone remember 'Cheggers Plays Po.......

I think the most used last words are (rather boringly) along the lines of:
"Night dear"
or alternatively, while setting the alarm clock:
"I wish I didn't have to get up so early tomorrow"

"It's better to die than to fear death."
"Mommy!"

"What , I don't see any !!!"

"I don't think I should have done that."

"I'm still all right" shouted in the windows of floors 120, 100, 70 and 20 of the skscraper

And, of course, the world-famous "Oops!"

"I don't need your help, thank you" in a sarcastic tone!!!
