You Won'T See This On An Epitaph

Mine was a life well-lived
          You all did agree

         How did you know
           You were not me

Funny and accurate, and you’re right, Gershon, I’ve not seen that on a gravestone. But I did once see this in a shop window… ‘They say you can’t take it with you… so spend it here and I’ll take it with me.’

Great sign you saw there, Terry. You also can always loan it to me, and I'll take it with me! Peace, gw

Lol, true I have never seen that on an epitaph. But it certainly would make a fun epitaph. Enjoy your weekend my friend:-)

The epitaph is yours free of charge, Anne -- all you need is to pay a minimal handling charge of $595 upfront. lol. Operators are not standing by. They know you won't call! Happy Weekend! ~ Gershon

Caren, you're hired. We're going to redo every epitaph in the country... Would you believe in the county?.... Would you believe in the cemetary nearest you?... Don Adams, Agent 86

That's interesting, in a way correct too. There is no one other than you who knows you !
