If you had to die from something other than old age, how would you prefer to go?

I'm not afraid to die. Of course, the thought of me dying wouldn't be the issue of me being afraid of death, it would be what would happen to Michael or my kids if I did happen to meet my untimely end.

I certainly don't want to die in an unchivalrous kind of way. If I were found dead and bloated on the toilet, that would just be uncouth. I would prefer some malevolent way to die over that. That's just how my mind works. Maybe meeting a gorey demise would be desirable. Will torture be involved? Painful? It doesn't matter, I'll be dead anyway. I'm guessing you do not need your sense of touch or your nerve endings when you are a wispy ethereal being or ball of energy.

The ultimate way to die would be to feel pleasure at the time of your death. What way to feel better and carefree then to be high on drugs and overdose on it. It's a sour injustice to your friends and family who care for you, but at least you died with a super intense feeling of overexhilaration.

Of course, there is always a better way to die feeling good without the drugs. In fact, I had this in my mind since I was pretty young. I saw this movie a long time ago, it had Patrick Dempsey in it, at the time he was doing all these geeky teenage movies. Meatballs III, I had to look that one up. It stars Sally Kellerman as a former porn star who dies while on the job. There was a part in the movie where a newscaster was reporting about the incident and it went something like this:
Her last words were "Ooh, aah, ooh, aah, oh yes, oh yes, oh God,
oooooh"
I thought to myself that is definitely how I want to go!
