Just when I was beginning to think my sense of humour was getting to be a wee bit too morbid, I came across other, like minded, individuals who see death as a way to get the last laugh.
I’m going to start with my three favourite celebrity epitaphs.
Billy Wilder, who directed Some Like it Hot, a movie with, arguably the best last line ever.
TV Icon Merv Griffin
The voice of Warner Brothers animation, Mel Blanc
Then there are some regular folks with a not so regular sense of funny.
For those that love to say I told you so.
For the realist.
For the Scrabble lover.
For the philandering husband.
I just love the fact that his wife outlived him… ah poetic justice.
For the man who loves women.
For the man who loved too many women
For the glass half full type
For the beloved family pet.
Even one for the atheist.
Pretty sure this one isn’t real… but it’s real funny.
That last grave marker is one I would seriously consider getting if I was going to be buried. But, as I am an atheist, I’m donating as much of my body as science will take, then the rest of me (if there is anything left over) is going into the ocean to become part of the food chain.
I will leave you with one of my favourite moments from the TV show Absolutely Fabulous with Patsy and Edina talking about their grave markers.
