I would expect a dying man to think about what is going to happen next, not engage in side issues that have nothing to do with it, or maybe the shock of realization dulls their senses, who knows. When My first wive died of cancer, her last thought was about how sorry she was to leave us.

Last words......."They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist..."
"Channel 5 is all ****, isn't it? Christ, the crap they put on there. It's a waste of space" Adam Faith
Damn, this is funny. Doc Holiday
"Hey watch this..." Random Jackass
"But I'm afraid". My grandmother, age 99
Beecher's would seem to relate to what comes next, but since one is alive when one utters last words, they can only be speculative about the afterlife. Sorry, but no clues are available from the living and the dead can't talk.
