I would like to know what everyone would request to be on their headstones when we pass on. You may still answer this even if you’re convinced that you will never die. Please have a decent sense of humor about this, as I’m sure some, as mine below is, will become offensive. I think I’ll have on mine “I’m still fuckable, but this time, YOU have to do all the work” Hehe ---

There’s a stone in our village graveyard that says “Here lies all that could die of [person’s name]”, which I think is nice, although I have no idea if it very common. I also like Paul Eddington’s wish for “He did very little harm”. ---
