Everyone gets a precious few years here on earth and then poof, we’re gone forever. And while the debate continues to rage about what happens after we die, not many people are looking forward to finding out. Nobody likes to contemplate their own mortality, except maybe during those melodramatic teenage years full of “that would show ‘em” suicide fantasies. But what if we took the whole subject just a little bit less seriously, and found humor in this depressing topic? We asked people on the streets of San Francisco how they thought they were going to bite the big one, and if there was a way to go laughing.

Julia Levya, 23
“The way I think I’m going to die is I’m going to be 90 and sky diving. The parachute (will) break and I’ll smash into a million pieces with hip bones flying everywhere.”

Michael Luong, 21
“Hopefully I see myself dying in my sleep; I don’t want to be up for it. But if I died in a roller coaster crash that would be pretty funny.”

Kristin Amber, 19
“I’ll be pregnant and I'll crash in a car. All my life I’ve thought that would happen when I was 19…and I’m 19 now so I have the remainder of the year to fulfill that.”

Glen Wilson, 32
“I see myself dying when I’m old and gray of natural causes. I hope not in a hail of bullets out here one day”

Vince Gaither, 43
“A friend of mine’s brother had a car accident while he was getting head from his girlfriend. At that, uh…moment, he gunned the engine and ran into the back of a semi truck and chopped the top of his head off. But the girl lived. Her head was protected.”

Charles Wagner, 30
“I think I'll die getting hit by a car, on my skateboard. But I’ll be 50, bombing a hill in the Sunset and I’ll just forget to time a light or something. Or my dreds will get caught (in the skateboard), That could happen.”

Zeina Barkawi, 28
“I think I might die in a plane crash. I travel a lot and I think about that. Two psychics have told me I’m going to die when I’m 99. Hopefully it will be while I’m having sex, that would be pretty funny.”
