How to play
One player names a famous person, either alive or dead, and the other players think of appropriate last words that person might have said just before dying. Answers can be given spontaneously or read aloud after having been written down. The player with the funniest answer gets to choose the next celebrity, or players simply take turns doing so. Alternatively, non-celebrities known to all players can also be suggested, as well as animals, plant life, and even inanimate objects.

| Tennessee Williams: | "I bet I can spit this bottle cap farther than you." |
| Wicked Witch of the West: | "Go ahead and splash me, I need a wash anyway." |
| Julius Caesar: | "Senators! So good to see you!" |
| John F. Kennedy: | "Bill, let's leave the top down today." |
| Mosquito: | "I think I'll catch a ride with this oncoming car." |

| Striped bass: | "What? A dangling worm? Must be my lucky day!" |
