Living Epitaphs
Icy North Started conversation Jun 2, 2017
Epitaphs are great, but why do we only receive them after we've died? We can't appreciate them.
So, what would your living epitaph be?
Or indeed, your living epitaph for anyone?

I liked Elwood P Dowd's motto in the film "Harvey": "You can be oh so smart, or oh so pleasant. I recommend pleasant."
Not sure how to make that into an effective epitaph, though.
My problem would be settling on only one epitaph.
