A witty and elegant epitaph, Jan. Deserved a high placement in the contest.

I've returned, absolutely astonished that this wasn't a top winner. I guess 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' or some such...Another apt comment might be: 'There ought to be a law!' At any rate, you still have my vote, Jan! Can't stop laughing over this one. Best always, Gershon

Oh, Kyle will love this. Will show him when he gets up. He'll probably floor fall with laughter. I had a grandmother who despite being a Southern lady, loved shocking everyone with this topic and I think Kyle inherited her gassy humor. Very funny, absolutely smells of funny! CayCat

You're amazing... I checked Ethel Carter, I've found 346 different Ethel Carters in Google. I bet most of them are prolific farters... All the best.
