While I had often said that I wanted to die in bed, what I really meant was that in my old age I wanted to be stepped on by an elephant while making love.
I enjoy slaughtering beasts, and I think of my relatives constantly.

It is a pain in the ass waiting around for someone to try to kill you.
When you are about to die, a wombat is better than no company at all.
