Death is not funny, but some epitaphs are. Here are a few of my favorites.
"Here Lies Johnny Yeast.
Pardon me for not rising."
(New Mexico)
"Here lies a man named Zeke.
Second fastest draw in Cripple Creek."
(Cripple Creek, Colorado)
"Here Lies Jedediah Goodwin, born 1828, Auctioneer.
Going...Going...Gone!" 1876
"See! I Told You I Was Sick!"
(Littleton, Colorado)
"Here Lies The Body Of Jonathan Blake,
Stepped On The Gas Instead Of The Brake."
(Uniontown, Pennsylvania)
"This Is The Grave Of Ellen Shannon,
Who Was Fatally Burned March 21,1870,
By The Explosion Of A Lamp Filled With
"R.E. Danforth's Non-Explosive Burning Fluid"
(Girard, Pennsylvania)
"Here Lies Harry Edsel Smith,
Born 1903, Died 1942
Looked Up The Elevator Shaft To See
If The Car Was On The Way Down.
It Was."
LAST BUT NOT LEAST, A FINAL EPITAPH:
"Adrian's Blog must now come to an end,
No more did others their heady thoughts lend
To the grave it goes, we cannot be bitter.
It was killed by disinterest, Facebook and Twitter."
Hey Brother. I sure hope You are not going to bury Your Blog. Just hang on for a while, Summer will soon be over and boredom will set in and Bloggers will return.
ReplyDeleteThat last one's not very funny (unless you're joking, of course).
ReplyDeleteTry this one, "Here lies Les Moore, four slugs from a forty four, No Less no more". Tombstone Az.
ReplyDeleteWith a .44, that seems to be a bit of overkill....
ReplyDeleteMaby he was a real tough dude.
