Hi Ian
As far as I know there are a number of variations on this quote. The
original was from Hells Angels by HST:
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the
line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, shouting GERONIMO!"
or there's this one:
"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in a pretty and well preserved body,but rather to skid in
broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming
-- WOW-- What a Ride!"
attributed to Bill McKenna
or
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in
sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"
and various others but personally I like mine the best and I'm sure
Thompson (or McKenna) would approve of the sentiment which ever one is used.
Cheers
