What are your "Famous Last Words" - List them here

[Minnie's Mate]

My favorite line from the movie "Cars" was when Lightnin' McQueen runs out of Doc Hudson's garage and yells, "Doc Hudson won the Piston Cup!" And 'Mater replies, "Doc Hudson done did what in 'is cup?"

My uncle just happened to send this one along:

National Transportation Safety Board

The National Transportation Safety Board recently divulged they had "covertly" funded a project with the U.S . automakers for the past 5 years, whereby the automakers were installing black-box voice recorders in
4-wheel drive pickup trucks, vans and SUV's in an effort to determine, in fatal accidents, the circumstances in the last 15 seconds before the crash.

They were surprised to find in 38 of the 50 states the recorded last words of drivers in 61.2 percent of fatal crashes were, "Oh ****!"

Only the states of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Tennessee, Eentucky, Arkansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana
and Texas were different, where 89.3 percent of the final words were:

"Hold my beer, I'm gonna try somethin."

Please accept my sincere thanks for your recent letter and for the enclosure describing the Sāo Paulo helicopter rescues. . . . I had it read to me (my eyesight has failed to such an extent that I can no longer read) and found it interesting indeed. I always believed that the helicopter would be an outstanding vehicle for the greatest variety of life-saving missions and now, near the close of my life, I have the satisfaction of knowing this has proved to be true.

With regard to our Airstream work:
"Now, why would I want to do that?" - Me
"No one will ever notice." - My wife
And my response - "except me, and I will see it forever"

"I hate it when I do that." - me
"Where is the ?????, I just had it in my hand a minute ago . . ." - me
"Honey, what did you do with the ???"
"I haven't been able to find a thing since you cleaned up the shop."
"Isn't that just grovey?"
"Now, why did it do that?"
"How much did you pay for that?"
"I'm stay'n out of it - it's your baby!"
"I will be glad when this baby is done!"
"I've spent way more time working on this thing then I will ever spend enjoying it"
"I don't ever care to do that again!"

My version:

"Where did that come from?"

"That wasn't there a minute ago!"
