Speaking of the Dead

Famous last words are often funny but since they are last words a person never gets to know if they were meant to be funny, so for the sake of amusement let's assume they were. Voltaire was asked to renounce Satan on his deathbed to which he replied,"Now,now dear sir,this is not the time to be making enemies." Funnyman W.C. Fields spent most of his last months in bed and was once caught reading the bible,when questioned about it he said," I'm looking for loopholes." His last words were,"Goddamn the whole friggin' world but you,Carlotta."  Fields died on Christmas day of a stomach hemorrhage at age 66,I guess the pineapple juice he always claimed was in his flask finally got to him.
