Well, assuming I can get service or have time I would call my mom. Next, I would call my best friend and give her my password to erase the porn off my laptop. XD

@Katie that is a great idea. Haha.

Calling your mom would be enough. You wouldn't have to die of embarrassment as you watch us laughing to death knowing your secrets

Before I even opened the pole I thought Ghost busters, I would call my mom but she's dead.

Get a link to her thru the Ghostbusters. I guarantee you won't get a busy tone or that annoying voice-in-a-box say "the subscriber cannot be reached"

“There is a story of a woman running away from tigers. She runs and runs and the tigers are getting closer and closer. When she comes to the edge of a cliff, she sees some vines there, so she climbs down and holds on to the vines. Looking down, she sees that there are tigers below her as well. She then notices that a mouse is gnawing away at the vine to which she is clinging. She also sees a beautiful little bunch of strawberries close to her, growing out of a clump of grass. She looks up and she looks down. She looks at the mouse. Then she just takes a strawberry, puts it in her mouth, and enjoys it thoroughly. Tigers above, tigers below. This is actually the predicament that we are always in, in terms of our birth and death. Each moment is just what it is. It might be the only moment of our life; it might be the only strawberry we’ll ever eat. We could get depressed about it, or we could finally appreciate it and delight in the preciousness of every single moment of our life.” Pema Chodron

I vaguely remember that story was retold in an episode of "The Incredible Hulk" back in the '70s (off, topic, to be sure. Sorry.)

Wow I've never heard of that quote until now! I love it thank you so much for sharing!

I’d probably take off my clothes, and try to make a parachute

ooooohhh-ho-ho-hooooh! that would be a sight to see!

The truth is I scream like a little child. I don't think to call anyone and then in the last moments I would hope I would accept the situation and realize this is going to be the last thing I experience so ride it like a roller coaster. And poof I'm gone.

Hope you don't hit a snag in that ride

I apologize in advance for being a smartass... but I.just.can't.help.it

I love how one of the poll options is calling "your mom" - because I would totally call your mom.
😉

juvenile, I know... but dammit, I haven't turned down a mom joke opportunity in 40 years

I'm a pilot. I put down the damn phone and save the day.

None of the above. I call my grown daughters to tell them I love them.

I'd call Moe's tavern and ask for Hugh Jass or Ivana Tinkle

My kids.

Ironically: My mom worked for the FAA, My sister is a flight attendant, and my dad is a pilot.

My sister's best friend was on Flight 11 which crashed into the World Trade Center, and she knew and was friends with the rest of the crew. Just this summer, her husband (Marine) was killed in the military plane crash over Mississippi, our step mom was killed in a parachuting accident (the term they use is 'bounce'😉.

My sister's friend Jeff called her on September 10 and left a voice message that he didn't feel well, and was considering calling in sick.

When I heard about my brother-in-law's accident (we knew on Monday night right after it happened) I started texting him asking if he was okay, hoping against hope that he would text back. I've saved those texts. I'll delete them soon, I'm sure, but for now I hang onto them.

So I would actually call my sister, or my mom. Just to say good bye. Then I would swallow my emergency stash of Valium.

I would try to calm my mind and go to a place in my thoughts and come to terms with what's about to happen to me.

2

a pilot to land the plane, an attendant to give me an oxygen mask and a jump instructor with a parachute to help me out of there if all else fails

I'll wink at the attendant and say, "into the c.r. for a quickie!"

I voted for the Ghostbusters because calling them would be just as useful as any of the others. lol

I have caught myself calling for my mother; who has past on. I would probably still call for her
