There are a few famous one I like..:
"Die, my dear doctor? That's the last thing I shall do."
~~ Viscount Palmerston, British Prime Minister
"They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist. . . ."
Killed in battle during US Civil War.
~~ General John Sedgwick, Union Commander, d. 1864
"Either that wallpaper goes, or I do."
~~ Oscar Wilde, writer, d. November 30, 1900
There is also the story about the three very (VERY) senior citizens, best friends, who had been retired for literally decades, discussing this exact same topic and then asked each other what would be their chosen way to go.
The one said he would like to go as he was hitting a six with the very last ball of the game, ensuring single-handedly that his team won the Cricket World Cup. The next, more of a football fan, said his wish would be along the same lines, but as he was scoring the winning try.
The last, seemingly lost in thought, stayed silent. Eventually the other two prompted him, and wistfully, with a nostalgic look on his face, he said: "I would like to be shot by a jealous husband."
