Over the years several famous figures have been attributed with some rather amusing last words.
General John Sedgwick famously scoffed "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance" during the Civil War before being promptly sniped in front of all his men. Oscar Wilde was dying in his hotel bed in France when he muttered "My wallpaper and I are fighting a duel to the death. One or the other of us has to go."
Steven Wright once said that he wished the first word he spoke was "quote. " Then, right before he died he could say, "Unquote. " While that would be the greatest last word ever uttered, we have to be realistic here and admit no one could be that cool, lest the universe implode.
