When or How you will die?

After reading and posting in Fastfredracing's "U guys scared of dying" thread.
I got to thinking, which would you prefer to know?

When you will die or How you will die?

Why would your husband be jealous?

Hopefully not in a manner that generates a fark.com headline... or if it does, it generates an EPIC fark.com headline.

Hopefully, it will be quietly, in my sleep like my grandpa.

Most likely in a few short years - probably a heart issue.

My hope is that "hookers" (note the plural) and "blow" are mentioned in my obituaries (note the plural).

I would prefer both to be a surprise, both for myself and for everyone watching.

Unless you decide to do yourself in, you have no vote on either of the choices.
I'm more concerned about the destination than the trip.

I never even had a will until 50. I always figured I'd be ten feet shy of making it over that last ridgeline, or at the bottom of the ocean.

I have no children, and figured all the ex's could fight over whatever was left.

Surprise! Am still here at 63, retired from flying after 37 years and 28K hours airbourne. No accidents, no incidents, no violations, no scratched paint.

Have no idea what is next, am enjoying seeing everything from the left front seat of a 41,000 pound diesel pusher, the Prius in the enclosed garage towed behind.
