Leadfingers is right about Spike's epitaph, took a long time to get there.
Disraeli, on being told on his death-bed that Queen Victoria wanted to come and see him 'Oh no, she'll want me to take a message to Albert!'

I thought I had read that Ned Kelly's last words were "Such is life."

Of course I live to tell the tale, but when my horse did a full on summersault on a steep granite rubble bank, 10,000 feet up into the Ansel Adams wilderness, I thought long and hard as we sped forward: "If I become a quad, my wife is going to be SO pissed."

The gods only know what has possessed Mr Red to resurrect a 14 year dead thread. Or perhaps Mr Red knows? ;-)

Which reminds me of what has to be the ultimate bad movie review.

Boris Vian, author of "J'Irai Cracher Sur Vos Tombes", went to see the American film made from it, "I Will Spit On Your Grave".

He didn't like it very much and died of a heart attack in his seat.

Was it Heinrich Heine who was asked by some tactless religioso as he lay dying whether he thought God would forgive all his great sins, and answered, "Naturally; that's His trade."

The Catholic and Protestant bishops of Cork who hated each other were both dying , the Protestant in a Protestant hospital, the Catholic in Cork's Catholic hospital .The news came to the Catholic bishop that his rival had died . His last words reputedly before dropping dead himself were : "Now the bastard knows who the real bishop of Cork is".
