Famous Last Words

I’ve always been fascinated with the “Famous Last Word’s” phenomenon.
In my estimation there are two varieties when it comes to famous last words (FLW). The first variety are death related. These are the things that are said harmlessly, but eventually end up being the last thing ever uttered by said person.
Check these examples out:

  • “I think I can make that jump.”
  • “These oysters aren’t bad for you.”
  • “Give me that gun, it’s not loaded.”
  • “Hey butthead, Bring it On!”
  • “Trust me, this bungee cord is the perfect length.”

There is another variety of FLW’s, and they are the kind that makes you wish you had never said anything. They go something like this:

  • “That IKEA furniture shouldn’t take me more than an hour to build.”
  • “Hi honey, did you shower today?”
  • “Who cares if we lost the instructions? I don’t need them.”
  • “This used car is really priced cheap!”

Throughout my day, I often hear things that people say in meetings and out in public; and I think… that sounds like a FLW. From time to time, I will begin to share some of my favorite. Until then, feel free to share any FLW’s that you might have.
