My wife, who has witnessed many deaths, says there is no good way to die.

That’s a great line. Sometimes we forget that comedy was not invented in the 1960s.

I can think of a lot of ways I would not want to die and very few I would. At the top of the undesirable list would be: burning, drowning, eaten by a wild animal, buried alive and explosive decompression.

Dying in your sleep is probably the best, but I wonder: what if you are having some kind of nightmare? I sometimes have those then I wake up. But what if you never wake from it?

Maybe the best way to die is to be at ground zero when a nuclear (or other very powerful) explosion goes off. One nanosecond you are there and the next you are vapor. No time to register any pain or regret.
