As far as I am concerned, I don't know how I'll pass away and I don't worry about it. It does troubles me a bit now and then because I have a wife and kids. But, picking my demise is a alien thought to me and one that I reject. Hell, most people have said that I should've been killed a long time ago.

I have known for a long time that my demise will occur when one of my computers does something bad, and I explode on the spot. Everyone who knows me understands that computers hate me, and will eventually kill me.

I'm going to be cruising down the interstate at about 140MPH and suddenly go from Spontanious Human Combustion. At that point my vehicle will veer out of control colliding with Texan1983 and send his vehicle into a nuclear power plant that releases radiation that gets picked up into the atmosphere and distributed around the world causing all of life to die from cancers. Only that you're not really dying from cancers, but actually from me spontaneously human combusting. HA HA, I WIN!!!

I figure it'll be one of the following a timber falling on my head, keel getting ripped off the sailboat in the winter or my wifes cooking. More than likely wifes cooking was that an option?

Anyone see the episode of "The Man Show" where they were advertising the "Die Like A Man" company? They had several options- like "head smashed in by professional boxer" and "skydiving without a parachute" and a heart attack at a brothel.

I say Ill be in a driving related accident. There has been so much auto-related tragedy in my life, it would be naive to say it wasnt after me too.

Let's see. I've lost 12 pounds so far. I don't drink (anymore) or smoke. I'll grow old but never grow up. I have too guilty of a concience for crime. I'm a very careful driver (until the straight-a-ways). I do consider myself a whack job at times. America will eventually kick some Iraqi $*#! Am too faithful to get VD. I am only immortal by the grace of God. So, if my husband takes anymore food away from the bear in our back 40 (where I feed my fish by myself), I would probably have to say animals! It's got to eat something!

I really don't want to end up in a nursing home costing $60,000 a year, not a joke. You will have someone that doesn't speak english stealing your stuff and stuffing a pillow over your head to keep you quiet. You might get pushed down the hall once in awhile for "exercise". Not exactly a enjoyable future. A friend at work has the best plan I have seen. When he gets to a certain point, he will go to another country and stay with his much younger wife's relatives. He will be getting his retirement check and they will have a reason to take very good care of him.

I already have a trace of mental illness, I'm afraid, but I really believe I will curl up in bed one night and go to the Long Sleep - that's what I voted to do anyway

It's my plan to die at the age of 109, in a hang-gliding accident.
