I work in a prison and I have several female co-workers. we all get along pretty well and like to joke around when appropriate. one of the things that's most effective that is "non-sexual" (keeps me out of the EEOP office)  are jokes and wittisizms about death.yes it's morbid, but hey we work in a PRISON. I remember reading some maxims on death here and wanted to refresh my memory of them. somethings about greeting death with a smile or like an old friend.....something like that, and others. so lets hear them.

Not specifically what you were looking for, but fits with the previous posters. On Security: Quotes by Hellen Keller Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. |
I was in a gas station yesterday buying some ice and on the cover of Maxim it had a headline that said something along the lines of "25 Greatest Arguments Settled." I wonder if it had the one about the airplane and the conveyor belt.

Three things, one from reality, two from the movies. It is best going swiftly, doing what you like doing. Ie, Tiny Tim died of a heart attack after performing for his audience, he went looking into bright lights, people calling his name. Stephen Boyd, an action man of 60's movies, went while playing golf in Hawaii. Some of the Thunderbirds (USAF) went while flying in formation, straight into the desert floor. From the Eiger Sanction: "Don't worry, we'll get out of this."--Hemlock "I do not think so, but we go out like heros, no?"--Andre From DS9: "I've got a runabout loaded up with photo torpedos so we can collapse the wormhole."--Garrick "Great but then what?"--Bashir "Ohhh, I don't think you have to worry about that, Doctor." "That's easy for you to say, you don't work for StarFleet."--Dax "That's not what I mean. Quite frankly, I don't think any of us will live to see tomarrow."--Garrick If one gets the job done, then dying doesn't seem that bad. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ("Bad news. The door, the wall of the citadel is made out of solid triple phased direluem. The explosives we brought won't even dent it."--Garrick who then bursts into uncontrollable laughter "I do not see what is so funny about our situation."--Dalmar "Well, don't you see? Here we are to storm the castle walls, lay down our lives ......... AND WE CAN'T EVEN GET THRU THE FRONT DOOR!", (w,stte), "DS 9") |

The Impartial Friend: Death, the only immortal who treats us all alike, whose pity and whose peace and whose refuge are for all--the soiled and the pure, the rich and the poor, the loved and the unloved. - Mark Twain, last written statement; Moments with Mark Twain, Paine An honorable death is better than a dishonorable life. [Honesta mors turpi vita potior.] - Tacitus (Caius Cornelius Tacitus), |
