FAMOUS LAST WORDS
“Are you sure the power is off?”
“Don't be so superstitious.”
“He's probably just hibernating.”
“I can do that with my eyes closed.”
“I can make this light before it changes.”
“I wonder where the mother bear is?”
“I'll get a world record for this.”
“I'll hold it and you light the fuse.”
“I'm making a citizen's arrest.”
“It's fireproof.”
“It's probably just a rash.”
“It's strong enough for both of us.”
“I've done this before.”
“I've seen this done on TV.”
“Just take whatever you want, this is a ghost town.”
“Let it down slowly.”
“Nice doggie.”
“Now watch this...”
“Pull the pin and count to what?”
“Rat poison only kills rats.”
“So, you're a cannibal...”
“That's odd.”
“The odds of that happening have to be a million to one!”
“These are the good kind of mushrooms.”
“This doesn't taste right.”
“Well, we've made it this far.”
“What does this button do?”
“What duck?”
“Which wire was I supposed to cut?”
“You wouldn't hit a guy with glasses on, would you?”

No "Hold my beer"?
 
A Horse walks into a bar.

The Bartender sees such a vivid depth of despair and ennui in the Horse's eyes, like the Horse has stared into the abyss and found the infinite void of nothingness so deep that the Horse could no longer believe that he himself nor anyone nor anything else existed.

To say something exists requires knowledge of self, which requires knowledge of existence of the self, an obviously impossible leap of logic, absurd to even attempt to conceive or contemplate.

The Bartender, in that single instant within the Horse's mind, became the nothingness the Horse perceived, and thus was rendered speechless.

If neither the Horse, nor the Bartender, nor the bar itself can be said to exist, then why should he ask, how could he ask, "why the long face?"

The question can have no meaning, and that which has no meaning cannot be stated.

The Bartender, dumbstruck, not by realisation of mortality but by fundamental doubt that he was ever alive, gazes into the endless depth of the Horse's eyes, and asks him, "Sir, I beg you say, do I exist?"

The Horse replies, "Neighhhh..."
