Famous Last Words

Question

It is claimed that Steve Jobs last words were 'Oh wow. Oh wow. Oh wow'. (Have fun translating that one: (¡hostia! ¡joleen! ¡jo'er! )This is the kind of thing we often get when someone of contemporary significance dies. (“My kingdom for a horse” “Bugger Bogner" etc. ) "The rest is history".

Job’s alleged last words have that extra flavour to them. What did he see? What did it mean? Tell us what you would choose to be your last words. On the whole I’ve decided mine would be

“Oh, How ineffably droll".

Las últimos alegados palabras de Jobs llevan un cierto sabor extra a ellos. ¿Lo que él ve? ¿Qué quiso decir? Díganos lo que elegiría a ser sus últimas palabras. En general, he decidido que las mías sería 'Oh, que Inefablemente graciosa".

Answer 2

I am one of those who believes that when we die it's simply "lights out" like shutting off the life force and all goes dark.

However, I am a Buddhist and have studied many texts on reincarnation, so I'd probably say:

"Bye. See you next lifetime!"

Reincarnation ... if I was a bird and you was a flower, what would we wish, I guess we'd wish for the power of ... - Lector_Constante, Nov 4, 2011

Answer 3

Many in religion, certainly those closest to Christianity, have a favorite line that many not of their ranks will no doubt be uttering on Judgment Day:

I tend to block out the fact our common eventuality is, sadly, unavoidable, leaving such morbid matters for others to ponder! Hmmm, come to think about it now, I know I will let fly from my dying lips:
