There was a guy who held a \"contest\" of sorts to see who could mail him the funniest joke before he was put to death by lethal injection. His goal was to leave the world with everyone laughing, as he was going to tell this joke as his last words... I\'m still trying to find if A) the contest is over and B) what the winning joke was.

"you can be a king or a street sweeper, but everyone dances with the grim reaper." - Robert Alton Harris, executed in 1992 in California Gas Chamber.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Alton_HarrisIt was a very unique execution...he was strapped in the chair 3 or 4 times from Midnight, and each time, a Federal court judge stopped the execution. Finally at 6:00am the Supreme court vacated all the previous stays and he was gassed.

Former raunchy comedian Sam Kenison (sp?) apparently had a profound conversation with God as he lay dying from a car wreck. Said something to the effect of: "Why do I have to go now? OK. ... OK." Quite weird for certain, especially given his checkered and wild lifestyle.
A great fictional one from one of Vonnegut's best works:

Or a real one from Dr. Bronner:

Referring to Custer's last words:
I saw a mural with a cow with a halo over its head. Then a man with his hand above his eyes as if blocking the sun so he could see in the distance. Then, a man and woman Indian making love.
It depicted Custer's last words:
Holy cow, look at all them f**king Indians!
