In long ago failed attempts at humor I used to tell people if I were drowning I'd keep popping back up as I remembered yet another thing I wanted to say before shuffling off this mortal coil.
The humor (attempted) came when I added that eventually, I'd be so annoying that someone would wade out into the water and hold me under the waves until the bubbles stopped.
At my advanced age, I'm very aware of the rationed nature of bubbles and try to be economical in using them, with little to no positive effect. For decades I've been collecting turns of phrase, insights, and observations that I found to be inspirational, useful, and/or humorous with the aim of distilling them all into a grand and glorious final statement when the time comes.

I found a mordantly funny attempt at what I hope I will eventually come up with. Of course, I'll have to live to be three or four hundred years old to get to this.
And even then, it's still not a sure thing.
