A post on another site has inspired me to ask: what would you like your last words to be?

"Don't forget to feed the parrot" ...?

I like this one, for a dentist:
"Strangers, approach these bones with gravity.
Doc Brown is filling his last cavity."

Apparently a dear friend's penultimate words were "Fox's chocolate biscuits are the best". Follwed by "Richard Dawkins got it wrong, there is a God"

'Dont forget to put the rubbish out'.

That is really appropriate jeni I don't like to be hungry,and would ordera large portion of every thing I deny myself as it is either fattening or alcoholic or not in good taste grin

An old joke I remember from schooldays was the epitaph which read:

Miss Emily Post
Spinster
Returned unopened.

jeni I love that one, read the books over and over and also have them on my iPod.

I can't think of anything clever or amusing so would probably remind them al that I want them to wear red at my funeral.

Who was it said, "Die, my dear Doctor? That is the last thing I shall do."? And was it William Pitt who said, "I think I could eat one of Bellamy's pies"? My last words are more than likely to be "Oh do stop fussing".

Lord Palmerston said 'Die, my dear Doctor? That is the last thing I shall do.' Or so they say. I hope I don't say anything, just have the light switched off quickly. I hate long goodbyes anyway.
