- Here's a couple. Sorry if there are any inaccuracies, or if someone has
- already posted these.
-
- An officer in the US Civil War was inspecting his troops
- while enemy snipers were active. When warned to be careful, he said:
-
- "Are you kidding? They couldn't hit an elephant at this dist--"
-
- and collapsed, shot through the head.
-
-
- A pilot friend of mine mentioned that when the "black box" is recovered
- from an airplane crash site, the last words on it are usually something
- like "OHHHHHH SHIIIIIITTTT!!!!". But in one instance, the captain is
- clearly heard to say:
-
- "Point your toes; we're going in deep!"
