    I was about to quote a scene from Blazing Saddles, but I'd go straight to banned.

    Is this a real question? Or do you want a real answer? Do you mean like 10 minutes before you crump? Or do you mean like a premonition?

    Lol

    The one common thing I do note that is a BIG RED FLAG of impending doom.....

    ... “oh man... I feel like I gotta take a dump....”

    That’s usually the one thing that perks my ears and I am like dang this guy is gonna die.

    True story.

    So having to take a dump is a sign of imminent death?

    When you’re about to die and you’re sweating and panting... when the guy takes a dump, it’s usualy game over.

    Many times I have seen the cardiac monitor go flat or into vtach right around that time.

    CPR happens soon after.

    But yes, when someone is really sick and they say they’re gonna take a dump, bring out the paddles

    The only time I need paddles after taking a dump is to break it up to flush it.

    No, you die first and then carp yourself, you can only hope that it happens first. Let's all die with dignity but who really gives a ****?

    ^^^^^^^^^^Yea, I keep thinking about Elvis's end and this new enlightenment.

    Today my heart starting beating a little faster...darnit.

    I hope I'll have time to clean up before hitting the floor!

    My mortality lesson of the week:

    Bev: Why do you wake up at 4am on the weekends?
    Me: I'll sleep when I'm dead.
