Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: Ed T Date: 06 May 09 - 06:29 PM It's time gentlemen please, it's time you're no longer here It's time gentlemen please, it's time to drink up your beer! Closing song, the Pig n Whistle TV show. |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: Ron Davies Date: 06 May 09 - 09:02 PM I'm pretty sure I got this from Mudcat--don't know specifically who: You may not know that vehicles sold in the US have "black boxes", similar to those in planes. The National Highway Safety Admininistration has been checking the black boxes in vehicles after accidents fatal to all the occupants. They've uncovered a fascinating pattern. In most states the last words spoken in the vehicle are usually: "Oh, f---". But in Texas, Alabama, and West Virginia the last words are: "Here, hold my beer and watch this." |
Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: Lonesome EJ Date: 06 May 09 - 10:22 PM "And THAT is my LAST post on this thread!" (uttered by numerous offended people on this forum as they stalk off...most of them then lurk around for awhile watching the continuing progress of the thread in question) ;-) I love it, LH! Even better, the "Farewell Mudcat" Threads where some whiner decides to announce his departure from the Forum because a)"This no longer a forum about folk music, and I must gather my dignity and leave..aloha" b)"I have been insulted for the last time...goodbye" c) "My comments have been edited, removed, and I can no longer submit to the heavy hand of the Moderators...farewell" Really, my least favorite kind of thread I must say, and I can imagine the "leaver" savoring all the calls to desist and forgive. Reminds me of the King who decided to hold his state funeral before his death, in order that he could hear all of the praise and adoration which would otherwise have been wasted. Some of them even start another thread announcing their return so that the tender souls who begged them not to go in the first place can welcome them back with open arms. |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: GUEST,Slag Date: 07 May 09 - 04:33 PM I've seen this one more than once: "It's the blue wire. It's always the blue wire..." Shwit, Shwit, Shwit (Zorro's parting comment). "A little traveling music, please..." Jackie Gleason "I never felt better..." spoken by a many. Which reminds me... I read in a book of famous last words of a noble lady ( a duchess or some such ) who lay dying, to her doctor "Anyone who can fart like that can't be too bad off." In response to the shrew's question, "Where are you going?" "To the store to get some (name your product)!" |
Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: robomatic Date: 07 May 09 - 04:37 PM Little Hawk: Reynolds was a good man, too good to be branded with such a quote: General John Sedgwick, Union Commander in the U.S. Civil War, who was hit by sniper fire a few minutes after saying: "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance." |
Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: meself Date: 07 May 09 - 05:42 PM There was a news story last year about an execution in North Caolina, or some such place. The condemned man was hoping for a reprieve from the Governor. About five minutes before the execution, he was informed that his request for a reprieve had been denied. His reply: "Well - you can tell Governor Smith he's lost my vote!" (I'm not sure the governor's name was Smith, though ... ) |

Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: Stringsinger Date: 08 May 09 - 05:54 PM Buddy Rich (in this somewhat apocryphal story) was reputedly asked by the doctors if there was anything that could be eliminated to make his final moments more comfortable. The be bop jazz drummer didn't miss a beat. "Yeah," he said, "Country music." Frank |
Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: Little Hawk Date: 08 May 09 - 08:11 PM Reynolds was a very good man, robomatic. My regrets if I misquoted him. I think he was too busy at the time to make quips about elephants anyway. ;-) That first day at Gettysburg was a darned hazardous business if you were positioned where Reynolds and Buford were. |
Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: Art Thieme Date: 08 May 09 - 09:41 PM I've always felt that he guy that threw the switch to execute John Wayne Gacy really missed the boat when he did not say: "Say goodnight, Gacy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I AM REALLY PROUD OF COMING UP WITH THAT ONE!!!/U> Art |
Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: Midchuck Date: 08 May 09 - 10:15 PM After sex exit: ... Is this your bra? How did you mean that to be stressed? "Is this your bra?" or "Is this your bra?" It makes a difference, although either could be dangerous. Peter |
Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: GUEST,Guest from Sanity Date: 08 May 09 - 11:45 PM Yes Darling, I'll come to bed. Go ahead and I'll be up...and if I'm not up within an hour, you can go ahead and start without me.--Black Adder |
Subject: RE: BS: Famous exit lines From: Peace Date: 09 May 09 - 02:46 AM I don't know whether anyone has yet posted the gem attributed to WC Fields (probably myth, but who knows with WC). The story goes that as he was about to die--within minutes--he turned to Barrymore and said, "Lionel, I look back on the times I was rued to little kids and I'm sorry. The times I told stray dogs to get lost and when they didn't leav I kicked them. The times I was miserable to orphans and other people. Lionel, I'm sorry." Story goes that Fields then closed his eyes and seemed to expire. As Barryn\more was leaving the room, he heard a noise behind him. He turned, and Fields had raised himself to his elbows. He said, "Lione, on second thought, fuck 'em." THEN he died. |
