Dumb Things I Gotta Do Today

Dumb Things I Gotta Do Today is a list of over things Homer Simpson intends to do.

History

Homer writes his goodbye note on stationary. Later, after thinking that he is going to die, he makes a list. He also wrote a shopping list.

Goodbye note

"Dear family. I am an utter failure, and you'll be better off without me. By the time you read this, I will be in my watery grave.

I can only leave you with the words my father gave me: "Stand tall, have courage and never give up."

I only hope I can provide a better model in death than I did in life. Warmest regards. Love, Homer J. Simpson."
