9. He got it backwards...

... It's better to live on your feet than to die on your knees.

--Joseph Heller

[CrispyQ]

16. Same difference.

When you die on your feet, you have lived on your feet.

They are saying the same thing: don't live/die on your knees.

[FrodosPet]

38. Ummm...no it really isn't

Big difference.

[graham4anything]

18. It's better to live than make a point and be dead

Live to fight another day

The revolution was won in 2008.PEACEFULLY
Get over it.

[Agnosticsherbet]

10. The best you can hope for is to die in your sleep....

[Odin2005]

11. Meh, I plan on living forever!

[UncleYoder]

12. In my sleep,

Not screaming in terror like my friends in the back seat.

[RebelOne]

19. Ditto. n/t

[DollarBillHines]

13. At the hand of a jealous husband

when I am 80 years old.

[jberryhill]

15. Oh, I like that

You just gave me a new direction in life!

[DollarBillHines]

68. Glad to be of assistance.

Let's hobble over to Steiners , check out the babes.

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

I was in school with one direction, to be a war corespondent. But I met a (don't tell him I called him ex) ex Marine and fell hard. My Mentor took me aside when he saw I had major feeling for Dave. He let me in on the lowdown. He said he though I could be one of the best. That I had to think hard about what I wanted. Many a divorce has happen due to the career. That my man was a marine so he knew what I was heading into and that it would be very rough on him. Three ways this could go. I could go ahead and try for both, but that could be a long shot. I could stay with the eye on the prize and let Dave find someone else, or change my path a little into a more domestic path and marry Dave.

I thought it over for a week, then... well here I am with Dave and not overseas.

[mia]

23. Loved your story, Lady Freedom.

Here's to your choices!

[Lady Freedom Returns]

40. The wild part is that in the past 10 years with...

Dave, I have seen more action and adventure than any would dream!

[JaneyVee]

24. Of old age at 115 years old.

[mia]

27. Yes...

115 and beyond.

[H2O Man]

25. I'm not afraid of dying;

however, I hope that I'm not there when it happens. (stolen from Woody Allen)

[Drunken Irishman]

26. In my sleep after a long life.

[graham4anything]

28. There was a line in Get Smart

Max was about to die and the KAOS villan asked him any last requests

he said deadpan

yes, to die of old age

[ChoppinBroccoli]

46. That's A Three Stooges Rip-Off

There's a Three Stooges episode where some dictator tells them they get to choose how they want to die. Larry says, "That's easy!" The others say, "It is?" And Larry says, "Sure! Old age!"

[datasuspect]

56. "musclebound porcupine"

moe called larry that once.

[BlueJazz]

30. On the balcony of the Senate, voice raised to the shame...with a Large Chocolate Shake in my hand...

...and huge fans blowing my hair back like Charlton Heston in "The Ten Commandments"
...and the Shuttle just rising off the launch pad heading for Mars.
...and thousands of adoring people holding candles to signify their worship of me.
...while the New York Symphonic Orchestra plays the 1812 Overture.
...and the Air Force sends 15 Jets overhead
...While watching the Super Bowl on a 100' X 100' screen.

I guess that will do..

[WooWooWoo]

31. kicking and screaming, yelling "don't pull the plug, don't pull the plug" - just like grandpa

[Badger1]

32. At the ripe old age

of 85-90 and shot to death in bed by a 20 year old jealous husband.

[Speck Tater]

33. Peacefully, having done everything I came here to do. nt

[Chemisse]

34. In a peaceful (or very quick) way, when I am still young enough to fully function.

You-all can keep the long lives. I don't want to spend any time as a helpless invalid or without my memories and faculties.

[Ruby the Liberal]

50. I'm with you.

I fear being old and incapacitated (mentally or physically) more than death.

[fadedrose]

64. You mean like the Senators? nt

[DavidDvorkin]

35. Never.

[Brigid]

36. After having done something . . .

that will have Rush Limbaugh, Fox Noise, and the denizens of freeperville all saying nasty things about me.

[cherokeeprogressive]

37. Meteorite.

Yup.

[pinboy3niner]

39. With my heart lying peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest

(A line from Man of la Mancha.)

[arely staircase]

41. like this

[TheProgressive]

42. If you are lucky- in your sleep when you are really really old...

[Scootaloo]

43. I've always wanted to live to be 120

So I could have set my feet in three different centuries.

After that, I could care less, so long as my meat goes to a good cause; I'm not using it anymore, maybe some crows are hungry or something.

More likely I'll starve to death in the middle of the 21st century along with ~40% of humanity. Bad shit happens when our oil 1) runs out and 2) has turned our climate back to the Eocene.

[A HERETIC I AM]

44. Like my father did, quietly, with a smile on his face....

Not screaming in terror like the other people in his car.

[polly7]

48. LOL! nt.

[ChoppinBroccoli]

45. Of Exhaustion At Age 95 After Bedding My 19-Year-Old Swedish Supermodel Wife

Is there any other way to go?

Or as the old joke says: I hope I die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather did, not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car.

[A HERETIC I AM]

47. See above. n/t

[MADem]

54. Nelson Rockefeller would agree with you....

Though I don't think Megan Marshack would recommend the experience.

[In_The_Wind]

49. I was mistaken when I thought I would die young.

Too late.
Now I want to die warm, well fed in my own bed at home.
I hate having to choose between buying prescription drugs that will improve my quality of life
and feeding my family.

[iiibbb]

51. Drowning in chcolate pudding

NT

[MADem]

52. Right after my 200th birthday party, perhaps?

I want to live forever! Or at least until it stops being fun...

[Ian David]

53. Here's how I want to go. (NSFW)

[tradecenter]

55. I want to die at a ripe old age

with my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren at my side.
Or I want to go out suddenly without knowing what happened.
Either way, in the end, it just doesn't matter, dead is dead.

[Honeycombe8]

57. Either drop dead from fatal heart attack that doesn't last long...or in my sleep...

WHILE my house is freshly cleaned up!

How embarrassing it would be...Aunt Honeycombe passed away last night in her sleep...apparently she hadn't done her laundry in over a month and she must not have been able to use teh vacuum cleaner any more.

[fadedrose]

65. Is embarrassment a feeling death people experience?

Thought for once I'd have peace and all I need to worry about is going to hell. How very depressing.

[Siwsan]

58. With my mind and body going at the same time

I don't know which would be harder - to be physically healthy but mentally gone, or still totally cognizant but with a body that has given out. Right now I'm overseeing two family members - one in each category - and I hope and pray I don't become either.

[AldoLeopold]

59. There's only one proper way to die

[1-Old-Man]

60. I will die of cancer, sometime in the next year or so.

I have cancer in both my lungs and liver. My first Chemo treatments had no effect on the growing tumors, the effectiveness of the chemo treatment I'm doing now hasn't been check yet, that will come next week. Either way I am not fooling myself about how this is going to work out. The doctors may arrest its advancement for now, or maybe not, but one day soon it will be back. And then that will be the end of me. It will not be the end of the world though.

[babydollhead]

66. may you live while you are alive

i wish you peace and whatever else you desire in your secret heart to have happen while you are still here.

[Buns_of_Fire]

61. Snu-snu

...in the balcony of the Senate, of course.

[fadedrose]

62. Really? And not the House? nt

[slackmaster]

63. After crushing my enemies, putting them before me, and hearing the lamentations of their women.

[Zorra]

67. I don't. Being alive is waaaay too much fun, so I'll just have to pass on that dying thing. nt
