Posting on the Tech diver thread got me thinking (scary thought huh?) and since it's Halloween season -
What would you want your last words to be and/or what do you want on your tombstone?
I can see myself, calling my family close - and with my last bit of strength telling them. "Over the years I have saved up millions in gold (pause) I have hidden the gold in a footlocker under . . .the . . . . . . uner. . . .the . . . . .u. )
Either that or (at age 87) : "WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOUR HUSBAND'S HOME?!?"
Not planning on having a tombstone.
Any last words

What do I want on my Tombstone? Well, I generally prefer Canadian bacon, sausage and pineapple. Oh, you're not referring to Tombstone pizza, are you?
Would you believe I sold my soul for eternal life so I can dive for eternity? Didn't think so.
Maybe something like "Dr. Bill isn't here, he's 60 feet under."

My choice for last words: "Ya baby that feels great".
What I will probably say: "Hell yes I can make that jump."
No tombstone just a last plane ride over the mountians.

In Texas it's, "Hey Ya'll, Watch this @!&%".
And as far as I'm concerned, burn me baby, burn me, then sprinkle me in the ocean. I don't want to spend eternity on a mantlepiece.

My sons and I spent a lot of time in the sand dunes of SoCal a few years back. I had always thought I'd like my ashes spread there, or in my favorite flower garden. My sons have been given the instructions to spread me in what they believe is my favorite place to be - being there are three of them all with different opinions I also told them it was perfectly acceptable to spread me from here to eternity. :-)
Tombstone... I hope that one would not be necessary for me to be remembered.
Besides, how could anybody possibly sum "me" up in such little space? :-)

in a non-lawyer run world, i'd just be dumped overboard to feed the crabs (no embalming, by the way. it likely wouldn't be good for the crabs, and who am i trying to look good for?) but since that's not likely to happen, carve me up for any body parts that others might need and burn the rest to little flecks and put me out at the end of the pier at my mama's. it's where i grew up - bath creek.
last words. hmm. i like the 'that feels great' idea. or 'ohh, gaaahd, YESSSSSS!'

Most likely my last words will be: "Ah, f@%k!" followed by some large booming sound.
Now, in the event I live to some old age and die rotting in some bed, I'm sure the above phrase will be reapeated over and over and over again - so I think I'm safe.
Even in the event I'm high up in some tree with a giant chainsaw and manage to cut myself in two, I think I'm still safe.
Yes, even if at some old age I find myself bedding some young firecracker, as I feel my heart explode I'll still utter that phrase.
I can see the eulogy now, "and as he left this world with one last resounding 'Ah, f@%k!' we knew he was fighting until the bitter end"
Perhaps I can write my will and make that into the response at the service:
"Please respond with 'Ah, f@%k!'"
"In memory of Joe's life"
All: "Ah, f@%k!"
"For his passage into eternal life"
All: "Ah, f@%k!"
"For his family and friends left behind"
All: "Ah, f@%k!"
"For the sick and dying all over the world"
All: "Ah, f@%k!"
Hmmm... perhaps I should write all this in my will.
