Judge Ben Mcwhorter

Here lie the remains of Judge Ben McWhorter
He held court in Bourbon Street’s Latin Quarter
When his wife discovered his debauched ways,
She took appropriate steps to end to his days.

Michael Tor Date: 7/5/2022 3:54:00 PM I know it is fiction Milton but I bet it happend somewhere to someone. It is crazy but I found humour in it, knowing it was fictional. Thanks for the smile.

I like your reply to Ilene Bauer because I write most of my humor like you do / Maurice Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 7/5/2022 5:49:00 PM Yeah, but you are a real humorist. I just accidentally light on something funny now and then!

Jim Slaughter Date: 7/5/2022 11:03:00 AM Wonder if he pleaded the fifth? I don't know this story, L M, but it sounds interesting. Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 7/5/2022 11:46:00 AM Completely fiction, Jim. I just like to write these funny epitaphs that come to me now and then.
