Dear DMC,
I was listening to Car Talk this morning, a great show I always enjoy. And sometimes learn a few things.
I usually learn about cars. Today, however, I heard a few things, which had nothing to do with cars, that were right up my alley.
I am an undertaker (and a devoted DMC member). I usually see people putting bland things on tombstones (many of them probably belong to the DMC too). Once in a while, however, I come across something funny: Famous Last Words.
Today on Car Talk they presented a list of Famous Last Words. I googled and found the list, which is attached below. Our readers might find them amusing.
Sincerely,

** Which wire was I supposed to cut?
** I wonder where the mother bear is.
** I’ve seen this done on TV.

** Now watch this.
