25. I've had wallpaper like that.
I live in a very old house that I believe was built in 1882, so I've found some awful wallpaper in the closets.

12. "Brakes are for people who don't know how to drive."
.
.
.
Actual quote from MiddleFingerMom when literally the ONLY thing on his
car able to slow it down or stop it was his emergency handbrake.
.
.
.
I actually got 2/3 of the way up the residential hillside neighborhood
behind the main street of Bisbee (a town I consider the San Francisco
of Arizona, partly because of its steep streets) before I "remembered"
that all I had was that handbrake.
.
.
.
The trip down was both exciting and terrifying.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
About 1% exciting and 99% terrifying.
.
.
.
.
.
It's very possible that those SHOULD have been my last words,
but obviously they weren't.
.
.
.
.
.
I have led a very charmed life.

14. "Go Raiders!"
When asked if he had any last words, minutes before his execution last week, Robert Comer looked at the gallery and said, “Yes, Go Raiders,” fueling speculation among sports analysts coast to coast.
Was he being flippant or crazy, or was he a die-hard fan?
Actually it was a private message to his attorney, Michael Kimerer, who, against his own anti-death penalty beliefs, helped Comer end his appeals.
The two men, who both come from northern California, visited that morning.
They chatted about football, as they often did.
“He spent a lot of time trying to make me feel better,” Kimerer said.
“You may feel defeated by this, but this is a victory for me,” Comer told him.

Kimerer was among the witnesses to the execution.
Comer looked right at him and smiled when asked his last words: “Go Raiders.”

32. Dutch Schulz
being questioned by police regarding who shot him.

"I don't know. I didn't even get a look. I don't know who can have done it. Anybody. Kindly take my shoes off. No. There is a handcuff on them. The Baron says these things. I know what I am doing here with my collection of papers. It isn't worth a nickel to two guys like you or me but to a collector it is worth a fortune. It is priceless. I am going to turn it over to... Turn you back to me, please Henry. I am so sick now. The police are getting many complaints. Look out. I want that G-note. Look out for Jimmy Valentine for he is an old pal of mine. Come on, come on, Jim. Ok, ok, I am all through. Can't do another thing. Look out mamma, look out for her. You can't beat him. Police, mamma, Helen, mother, please take me out. I will settle the indictment. Come on, open the soap duckets. The chimney sweeps. Talk to the sword. Shut up, you got a big mouth! Please help me up, Henry. Max, come over here. French-Canadian bean soup. I want to pay. Let them leave me alone."
