Actually, that might be possible.
At the risk of sounding morbid, there have been these type of observations with animals and other accounts like the one by Dr. Jacques Beaurieux in his book "Archives d’Anthropologie Criminelle" in the early 1900's. He describes consciousness persists on a severed head for a few seconds during his interaction with beheaded prisoner Henri Languille.
There is an unverified story involving french chemist Antoine Lavoisier, who was sentenced to the guillotine during the french revolution. The story goes that, as the scientist he was, he wanted to do one last experiment -to show how long the head remained conscious after separation. He asked a friend to look at his eyes after the guillotine fell, because he was going to blink his eyes for as long as he could. Allegedly, Lavoisier blinked for 16 seconds.
So, referring to the bowling cartoon and being a bit facetious, it might be possible not only to experience awareness after the fact, but also developing quite a headache as well.

Good one Jerry ... I wonder if they have others lined up ready to go, in case they need to go for the spare?
