[MD] No chocolate in Thompson quote

[Horse]

Hi Ian

As far as I know there are a number of variations on this quote. The 
original was from Hells Angels by HST:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving 
safely in one pretty and well preserved piece, but to skid across the 
line broadside, thoroughly used up, worn out, shouting GERONIMO!"

or there's this one:

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving 
safely in a pretty and well preserved body,but rather to skid in 
broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming 
-- WOW-- What a Ride!"
attributed to Bill McKenna

or 

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving 
safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in 
sideways - Chardonnay in one hand - chocolate in the other - body 
thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO, What a Ride"

and various others but personally I like mine the best and I'm sure 
Thompson (or McKenna) would approve of the sentiment which ever one is used.

Cheers
