tombstone humor

[rustle]

Anybody else kinda like walking through cemeteries? They're so peaceful, and often have really nice art, but the tombstones can tell such stories. And once in a while, I really want to meet the person who left us all a message. What's the best gallows humor you've encountered?

 

From Bastrop, Texas:

 

"I've made some good deals, and I've made some bad deals, but I really went in the hole on this one."

"What are you looking at?!"

I told you I was ill

Back from where I'm from, I have a friend buried in the same cemetery as some one who had the name, Highly Devine.

In the grass alongside the tombstone was a sign that read "keep the graves clean and have a nice day."
