    Thanks maia.

    I don't want to plan my last words either, because if you are seriously planning your last words it reflects a very pessimistic view of life. I accept death as inevitable, but I want to 'celebrate life' borrowing the phrase from author/doctor Dr Bernard Shaw whose book 'The Celebration of Being Alive' I read in school and had a great impact on my views of life.

    But I think the original poster meant this thread as a 'food for thought' thread and not seriously asking you to plan your last words. Obviously, what we want to say as our last words will change from time to time, but what would you say if you were to die now. I think it will give us an idea of what is the most important thing in our lives presently.

    last words...

    On his death bed Albert Einstein spoke his last words to his nurse. The tragedy was that he spoke in German and the nurse couldn't understand him. On that note I guess I would just scream really really loud and call out for my mommy.

    Hi,

    I suspect mine will be - "No! Don't turn off that switch!"

    Cheers.

    Mine would probably be - "remember the time....."

    Hi,

    You could always gather as many of your atheist friends around as you could find, and then say something like - 'Oh no, here I go again!"

    "Don't forget to tape the rugby!"

    My children and wife would know I wasn't kidding...

    I can only hope that my last words will be something along the lines of 'I'm not afraid'.

    How about: "I'm happy. Don't worry."

    Classic. I'll randomly play the bagpipes at your funeral, even though no one would know me there.

    Mine would probably be, "There is...*weak cough* $1,000,000 hidden in...hidden in the..." and then I die, satisfied to have trolled for the very last time.
