Epitaphs

[Jordan]

I think I would like it if in thinking of me after I am gone, it puts a smile on someones face.

Badger took one look at my tooling slab and called it a tombstone. Most unfair!

It is a huge lump of highly polished green flecked granite that I scrounged from a monumental mason who had cut it the wrong size and it didn't quite fit with the rest of a set of grave furniture.

I was actually going to ask him to put my name and an inscription on the back but it seemed somehow a bit... well, you know what I mean... ...tempting fate!

I don't think I'll worry about a headstone. Some skanky leatherworker will only knock it off to stamp leather.

Well Ray you could always leave instructions that your piece of stone be used for you marker.

after all you have been together for a lot of years - why not make it permanant?

I've always like Shakespeare's quote:

"Golden lads and girls all must

As chimney sweeps return to dust"

There is an old Boot Hill Cemetery quote:

"He was right and we was wrong

But we strung him up and now he's gone."

When I was a kid, there was a cemetery in another town that had a tombstone made like a chair. I can't remember the inscription, but it was something about if you sit in the chair you will be dead in a year. Of course, all the teens in the area made trips to test their 'courage' after a beer or two.

My own personal preference is not to take up a plot of land. When you're dead, the body is just worm food. (The Bible says, .."ashes to ashes, dust to dust..") I'd prefer to be cremated and fertilize some field. In Texas.

I just hope that my death doesn't make too many people happy!!

I always liked the little diddy that goes like this:

When I'm in a sober mood, I worry, work, and think.

When I'm in a drunken mood, I gamble, screw, and drink.

But when my moods are over and my time has come to pass...

I hope they bury me upside down so the world can kiss my ass!

That would look nice on my gravestone.

:wtf:
