The H2G2 Graveyard: What Would You Have On Your Headstone?
dasilva Posted Apr 3, 2004
I always like Milligan's idea "See: I told you I was ill!"
But then when I go I'll probably be splattered all over the road, some hospital ward, the sky or sunk to the bottom of the sea anyway...so if you can find enough of me to bury/burn/leave to the eagles then good luck!

'Excuse me, but you're standing on my foot' might be nice and sometimes accurate, but I think I'd prefer something disconcerting like, 'I can see right up your nose'.
Never mind me, it's been a long day.

Don't want to be buried, do you know how much cemetary plots cost these days?
If I were a half decent deathmatch gamer I'd have to have something like "Where's the respawn point?"

I'd imagine if you asked this on "b3ta", somebody would suggest a "redex" (the Internet Explorer image-not-found icon)

I'd rather be cremated than buried, but here's what I long ago came up with for my epitaph:
"Well, that sucked!"

I heed not that my earthly lot
hat little of earth in it
that years of love have been forgot
in the hatred of a minute
I mourn no that the desolate
are happier, sweet, than I
but that you sorrow for my fate
who ama passer by
- E A Poe
(the problem is I'm planning on a cremation, so the poor urn guy's gonna have a bugger of a time engraving it 
...)

Tanzen, I think your epitaph might be a bit more risque. I'd post what I think might be aprapos but I'd get banned from the site!

Oh come on zoomer, give me a chance to at least impress the people who didn't know me in life

You can't blame a girl for wanting people to think she was clever and poetic, even if the people who knew her in life knew better, surely?

Stop calling me Shirley!
You are both poetic and clever. Nice 
as well....
