Yesterday morning while watching WCVB's News at 5:00AM a "tease" before the break caught my attention. In a well articulated tone the anchor said something like... "What did they say? Last words of famous people"... bam, a commercial. Unfortunately, time retrains prevented me from seeing the "Last Words" TV segment, so I looked it up this morning on the stations website, thebostonchannel.com. The website article mentioned a number of famous people and their last words. I choose ten and listed them below.
Composer Ludwig Von Beethoven: Applaud, my friends, the comedy is finished.
Circus P.T. Barnum: How were the receipts today at Madison Square Garden?
Actor Humphrey Bogart: I should never have switched from Scotch to Martinis.
Playwright George Bernarad Shaw: Dying is easy, comedy is hard.
Beatle George Harrison: Love one another.
Senator Robert F Kennedy: Is everyone else all right?
Author Oscar Wilde: My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go.
General George Patton: This is a hell of a way to die.
Apple CEO Steve Jobs: Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow.
Mexican Revolutionary Pancho Villa: Don't let it end like this. Tell them I said something.
