View Full Version : Famous Last Words
Just for grins...What are the most famous last words you guys have heard uttered from the mouths of our brethern? I'll start:
"Break out the fartsacks and the chow. They'll never find us here!"
Harrison Victor Fitzwater III Flintlock 1980
And in Fitzy's defence:
"You hit him low and I'll hit him high..."
Me to Dan Dodge as we planned to snatch Col. Moroney, Ft. Devens 1980
It was Jerry Shriver who'd spoken the most famous rejoinder in SOG history, radioing his superiors not to worry that NVA forces had encircled his tiny team. "No, no," he explained, "I've got 'em right where I want 'em -- surrounded from the inside."
In memorium,
Mike
Jack Moroney (RIP)

"You hit him low and I'll hit him high..."
Me to Dan Dodge as we planned to snatch Col. Moroney, Ft. Devens 1980
And as I recall as my wife saw you all lurking outside: "Damn Hon, apparently you are going to be gone for a while. Be nice and don't hurt them dear":D

The Ever Classic, and I can not even begin to count the number of times that I have heard it in the past 30+ years:
Anything that starts off with:

A variation of what Ambush Master posted, but something that has been my misfortune to hear a few times....."Hey Sir, watch this...."

MrHarry, hold my beer while I …..
repeatedly throw a aluminum pot at the back door to my rental house on a cold ass night in Novi Gradiska. Now be a good enough to apply direct pressure to the gaping wound in my forearm caused by the falling glass.
All the Croat cops know me …they will give us a ride to the hospital
See you soon ODA 226
Wasn't that, "MrHarry hold my tequila slammer while I repeatedly throw an aluminum pot at the back door of my rental house on a cold ass night in Nova Gradiska? LOL!!!!!
It was nice of those two outstanding members of the Croatian Law Enforcement Community to give us a ride to the hospital! I still have a prominent scar on my left forearm from the piece of falling glass. It looked like a guillotine!
See you soon. The fridge is stocked and the gun show is waiting!
...Yes those pants do make your ass look big... :munchin
