What Would Your Gravestone Say?
December 11, 2011 at 3:08 pm
(For the record I want to be cremated, but play along)
After a comment made on my facebook page, I think my phrase should say "Strangely apropos"
Or something along the lines of the Dorothy Parker quote. "That would be a good thing for them to cut on my tombstone: Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgment."

I read a story about a grave stone.
It was supposed to say 'god she was thine' but the carver put 'god she was thin' instead.
The husband complained and the following day the tombstone read 'e god she was thin'

Tombstone inscription:
"Hold your ear up to this stone and I'll talk to you."
...just to see how many people would do it.

You wouldn't be around to see it though
Mine would read...
"I don't know you are putting flowers here, so save your money"
or...
"There is no afterlife, LOL".
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
