Funny Epitaphs 27 February 2010 6:28 pm
Hi! I was searching for inspiration to write an epitaph for Bottom of Midsummer's Night Dream (for homework. of course not for fun) and these are some of the funny ones i came across:

Here lies the body
of Jonathan Blake
Stepped on the gas
Instead of the brake.
Memory of an accident in a Uniontown, Pennsylvania cemetery

Here lays Butch,
We planted him raw.
He was quick on the trigger,
But slow on the draw.
In a Silver City, Nevada, cemetery

Reader if cash thou art
In want of any
Dig 4 feet deep
And thou wilt find a Penny.
John Penny's epitaph in the Wimborne, England, cemetery

"That's all, folks!"
Mel Blanc (the epithaph is the trademark line of cartoon character Porky Pig, whose voice was provided by Blanc for many years)

In Memory of Beza Wood
Departed this life
Nov. 2, 1837
Aged 45 yrs.

Here lies one Wood
Enclosed in wood
One Wood
Within another.
The outer wood
Is very good:
We cannot praise
The other.
Someone in Winslow, Maine didn't like Mr. Wood

In Newbury, England [1742]
Tom Smith is dead, and here he lies,
Nobody laughs and nobody cries;
Where his soul's gone, or how it fares,
Nobody knows, and nobody cares.

In a Leeds graveyard [1861]
Here lies my wife,
Here lies she;
Hallelujah!
Hallelujee!

John Dryden (1631-1700) on his wife
Here lies my wife: here let her lie!
Now she's at rest, and so am I.

Sir John Strange (1696-1754)
Here lies an honest lawyer, -
That is Strange.

HAHA, funny, right?

Anyways, I just came back from OBS and if I were to measure my skin tone on the skin whitening advert thing I'm probably a 15. =.= I have giant pus-filled blisters on my trench feet...BUT I NOW HAVE MUSCLES! *flexes*

Haha, OBS was super fun! But I really hated the trekking-for-3-hours-carrying-a-20kg-backpack part. But we got to do quarry-jumping (jumping off a cliff for like 1 metres and into a quarry filled with nice, clean fresh rainwater) and THE PACKET DRINKS WERE TOTALLY AWESOME, OK?

HAHA! If I feel like writing more about OBS I may, but now I need to continue writing my epitaph. XD
