“The money is buried by the big oak tree in farmer Johns’ cow pasture.”
Surely there can’t be more than one farmer John.
“Not again.”
I’m hoping to say that as my last words too.
I found this interesting enough to look up. Really, died from shoes?
It was actually 1839. Apparently, it was all the rage at the time to decry the rise in fashionable “thin shoes” as opposed to sturdy and warm “thick shoes”, which would prevent the woman from catching cold and dying of consumption. I had no idea shoes were so devastatingly important.
I’ve avoided finding my ideal epitaph, cause once you have it. . .well, you know.
See ya real soon!
May I please be excused?
I saw something cool on the AIDS quilt. One quilt had the years of the person’s life, but instead of saying Born/Died it said Born/Reborn.
I want that, and have it in my funeral instructions that that’s how it’s to be on my tombstone.
But I love some of the ones upthread here, especially “I’m going to try it. What could go wrong?”
I’d like to quote Erkle, “Did I do that?”
I can’t breathe down here, dig faster!
“Died in distant land, of misadventure and folly.”
I’m hoping this will be mine!
That is cool! I was certainly off on the year, though. Mind like a steel sieve.
“I guess we didn’t think that through…”
An author whose name I cannot recall wanted to have his epitaph read:
“I know everyone dies, but somehow I thought an exception would be made for me. Now what?”
cannot recall where i read this:
oh loosen up! you do not want to end up like your Aunt Mary, whose tombstone read, “Returned unopened.”
I won’t have a tombstone, but if I did it would be my signature.
Dead man rips off famous comedian. Film at 11.
Hey, I never said I invented it.
…and I’m not dead yet.
…in fact, I’m feeling a lot better.
Off the top,of my head , I’d have to choose
“Off on her next adventure”
Mine should read
Why are you walking around a cemetery reading tombstones? Don’t you have anything better to do?
