Famous First Words
An anthology of greetings to use upon meeting famous and infamous personalities who have been missing or thought by many to never have died. | |
Henry Stanley had two years to formulate his legendary "Dr. Livingstone, I presume?” uttered upon locating the African explorer and missionary. In the same way, appropriate salutations should be readied for use when any absent or presumed dead, renowned or notorious person pops up.
“Jimmy Hoffa!

“bin Laden, huh? Call off your dogs or you’ll wake up on the operating table as a Taliban woman.”
“Elvis, I was Crying in the Chapel, now My Wish Came True with the Wonder of You and I Beg of You, Don’t Leave Me Now.”
