What was that movie where the guy wanted something on his grave that was totally untrue, like “died saving his family from a shipwreck” or “died saving his wife from a crashing plane” or something, and then he died at the end and they put it on his stone? He didn’t have a wife or family at all. I think it was a comedy, but not slapstick.
Anyone?

I don’t know if you meant to put the second line on there or not, but I like to think it’s part of the epitaph.
Not that I believe in reincarnation or anything but this one would be pretty funny:

Here lies Ender.
He died while composing a message on a message board.
I know what you’re thinking. “Ender. If you died while composing a message on a message board, wouldn’t it have been funny to have that epitaph be incomplete?”
No, you idiot. First off, I didn’t say it was THIS message board. That’s a mighty huge assumption there. And secondly, if I died while composing the message, how would I have posted it? Huh?
