So, that malicious prick in charge of the Universe gets board one day and tells you he's about to kill you "Just cause he can"

How would YOU react to your own imminent death?
Guy in Pompeii looks like he died wanking it
If you knew death was imminent, what would you do?
If a wave of hot, bubbling magma was flowing in your direction, would you hysterically plow through women and children in a futile attempt at escape? Or would you stoically accept this fate and allow yourself one last instance of pleasure?
We’d all like to at least believe we’d choose the latter, which is why hearts and minds alike were enraptured by this photo of a man who certainly looks like he was jacking it during the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in the year 79.
If you’re unaware, the unfortunate victims of this eruption were buried for 1,700 years under 30 feet of mud and ash. When they were excavated in the early 1800s, some clever soul realized that, by pouring plaster of Paris into the voids in the compacted ash, molds could be made that captured the victims’ bodies, facial expressions, and final poses. And one such mold certainly looks to have captured a man in mid-yank.
After the above tweet went viral, people rallied in support around this hero, offering some quality zingers along the way.

I hope I'll have the chutzpah to go out just like this brave soul, (my newest personal hero), with a smile on my face and a big "Frack You!" on my mind! lol
I'd prefer to be 'with' a woman when it's time, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
Oops.
Just noticed I messed up the title but now I can't figure out where the edit button for the seed is.
Oh well, c'est la guerre.

Thanks Kavika. Just didn't look high enough this morning.
This one is kind of cute.
However, unless people are accustomed to having been drowning in hot ash and boiling mud and lava, it seems it might be difficult to judge the man's body movements. He could have been simply writhing in pain at the moment he was 'freeze framed' for posterity.

I had the same kind of thought John, though I imagined that he might of gotten gut stabbed by something, (like a piece of wood), that he was trying to pule out at his time of death.
This could be slightly fake news.
But the fun never ends when you're speculatin'!

True enough Dean but what Spikegary said. (smile)

If lava was headed my way, I start making lava lamps....
Hey, I'm an enterprising Indian....
Get you lava lamps and hemp robes here...
I would do my very best to do a 1 and a 1/2 twisting swan dive into the lava. If you're going to go, go in style. I am too old to jack off.
The lesson from this is to not live too near a volcano. That way you can survive to masturbate many more times.
