Famous Last Words

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a shit"
Wait, that doesn't count... Um, ok.

"hey guys, watch this!" -Everybody.
 
They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance.
These were among the final words of General John Sedgwick, Union Commander in the U.S. Civil War, who was hit by sniper fire a few minutes after saying them, at the battle of Spotsylvania, on May 9, 1864. They are often portrayed as if they were his absolute final statement, the sentence often being presented as if he did not even finish it, and altered into the form: "They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist...". Though this may be a slightly more striking version of events, it simply is not true. Apparently his last words were "All right, my man; go to your place," in response to a soldier telling him that he preferred to duck when being shot at, even from a great distance. - (External link: Death of General John Sedgwick)

Yeah. Were you serious? If so, I'm sorry for being flippant, but it was a little sudden and, you know, flippancy is my first reaction.

Ah, I gotcha and whatcha doin'. Look at me being all slangey.

Last words are over-rated though, I think. Like you're all on your death-bed, and you've got this great line, you've probably been thinking about for months, getting the wording and your inflection down, and for what? You don't know if it's going to be a hit. What if it doesn't catch on? Or if you **** it up, you're screwed, it's your last words. You don't get do-overs. If your last sight of this world is your loved ones rolling their eyes at you, you're going to be wishing really hard at that point that had maybe smoked just one less cigarette to give you time to think things over a bit longer. And even if you do get a show stopping last line guess what! You're still ****ing dead!
 
"Pull the pin and count to what?"

-JFK

"Yeah, I can walk home from here"

"I think I'll go out on the balcony, it's so beautiful out tonight"
-Martin Luther King Jr.

Those three were on that list that the topic creator posted, and they were all very different.

Wait a minute what? D: "Wait a minute, I've left the boiler on"? "Wait a minute, I forgot something on my will"? "Wait a minute, does anyone actually have any evidence of an afterlife?" "Wait a minute, I need to let the cat out"? We may never know.
