A few nights ago our small group got on the subject of funerals and epitaphs. Interesting enough
Matt's post referenced a Des Moines article about epitaphs. In the article the author posted the following epitaph from Boot Hill Cemetery in Tombstone, Ariz.:
HERE LIES LESTER MOORE,
FOUR SLUGS FROM A 44
NO LES, NO MORE
He then offered a few choices for himself:
I'VE CHANGED MY MIND ABOUT CLONING
IF MY FRIENDS TRULY LIKED ME, THIS STONE WOULD BE BIGGER
DID THE CUBS EVER WIN?
SEND SUNSCREEN! AND FINGERNAIL CLIPPERS!
THE GUY TWO PLOTS OVER SNORES
I'LL DO BETTER NEXT TIME
THERE'S A MILLION BUCKS IN MY PANTS
IT COULD BE WORSE. I COULD BE IN OMAHA.
HEAVEN COULDN'T WAIT
YOU CALL THAT A FLOWER?
IT WASN'T MY FAULT!
TELL MY EDITOR THE COLUMN'S GONNA BE LATE
BUT I QUIT SMOKING!
MEMO FROM HELL: THE BABE'S STILL FAT
QUIT CALLING MY CELL PHONE!
TAKE YOUR POSTHUMOUS PULITZER AND SHOVE IT
THAT'S NOT FUNNY!
WHO WON 'AMERICAN IDOL'?
ALWAYS DOUBLE-CHECK YOUR PARACHUTE
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CASKET. TRUST ME.
DID YOU HEAR THAT?
IF I COULD DO IT OVER, I WOULD HAVE SKIPPED TRIGONOMETRY
I have closed comments here, so go over to
Matt's place and tell him what you want your epitaph to be.
