Reminds me of a story I heard recently.
Apparently there was a study done by some arm of the National Transportation Agency to determine what happens immediately prior to a traffic accident.
What they did was put voice recorders in a few thousand vehicles all over the US, then would retrieve the voice recorders from those vehicles that were in an accident. It was sort of like that black box that's in aircraft that investigators retrieve after a crash.
According to the study, the most common last words immediately before an accident were, "Oh, sh!t."
The exception was Alabama, where the last words just before a smash-up were, "Hold my beer, I wanna try something."
