Quite honestly, my family and friends know i want to be buried at sea

But, if i have no choice in the matter then:

“I wanted to be buried at sea, you rotten bastards”

Tombstone, nothing. I plan to be stuffed and stuck up in the attic so I can scare the grandchildren.

I wish to be cremated.

However, a condition in my will is going to be that after the cremation, the executor of my will will carry my urn up to any enemies I had in life (they too, will be listed in the will) and say “This is a final fuck you from Crunchy Frog,” and then throw a bit of my ashes into their eyes.  
_Bwahahaha!!!_

First on this list of enemies is my ex-fiance, Jennifer.  
Second on this list is Jennifer’s mother.

A little piece of me wants to die first, just so this can be done to them. Ah well, nothing but a few public indecency laws to stop me from pissing on their graves if they should snuff it before I do.

My 10 year old daughter told me the the other day that she wanted her tombstone to say “daddy’s little girl”.

Awwww.
