there are three requisites: <br />one, it shall talk about my death, <br />the cause, and the culprit, <br />second, i am conscious <br />about my impending death, <br />and third, that i finally die <br />at that instant. <br /> <br />i will not do it. <br />am i foolish? who in this world <br />would declare something <br />only to know that to successfully say it, <br />one must first be dead? <br /> <br />but my friend that is the rule, <br />an evidentiary rule. <br /> <br />well anyway, let us start with you. <br /> <br />where were you when he shot you?<br /><br />RIC S.
