Jim Morrison once sang “This is the end my friend, my only friend the end….” Remember that song? It was in “Apocalypse Now” during the part of the movie where Martin Sheen was in the hotel staring at the ceiling fan for like 15 minutes. Morrison was singing about dying which is something we are all going to do one day. No one knows what Jim Morrison’s last words were, they were probably something like “Blaaarrrrrgggg.” Other famous dead people left us with witty little things to ponder and in this episode Starlee and Arthur talk about some of those witty things.
Did Winston Churchill seriously stay silent for nine days after saying “I’m bored with it all?” That’s a hell of a lot of effort to get in a last word that – when you think about it – isn’t really all that cleaver.
He actually planned it out ahead of time for that to be his last words, said it and then sat there waiting to die! That shows no faith at all. What if after nine days he had a miraculous recovery? He would have stayed silent all that time for nothing. A more appropriate last words would have been “I give up.”
