I periodically get out a little book I have called Famous Last Words and read the entry about Conrad Hilton, the hotel giant. It tickles me, I don't know why, just so funny and unexpected to read what his last words were. Here is an excerpt from the book:
Born in San Antonio, New Mexico, Hilton began his career by renting out rooms in his adobe home. He took a job as a local bank cashier, eventually purchased a bank of his own and later assumed control of a small hotel in Cisco, Texas, in 1919. Over the next sixty years, he built an international hotel empire. On his deathbed in 1979, Hilton was asked if he had any last words of wisdom. He did.
"Leave the shower curtain on the inside of the tub."
Conrad Hilton
