James French, sentenced to death in the electric chair: "How about this for a headline for tomorrow's paper? 'French Fries'."

And, of course "S***!" or "Oh, S***!" which have been the only things that got out of my mouth all the times it looked like I was going to check out....

Read a book once a number of years ago about first lander exploration groups on new planets. These were the folks that landed on any new planets to see if it was possible to colonize them.
