What do I want on my tombstone?

[gridlore]

A discussion has erupted on alt.atheism about what we want on our tombstones. I'm going to donate myself to a medical school, but I came up with these:

"Stranger please, lend an ear
And help me with my worries
Drop the Sporting Green here
When the Giants win the Series"

"I Got Away With It"

"Well, this was predictable."

"Visitor to my grave
From my far future
I know you know not my name
But let me reassure you
In my day I was widely known
Though not in history you've read
I was not rich or powerful
But I was damn good in bed.
(That's my story, and I'm sticking with it)"

"Failed my Saving Throw"

"Dead. That about sums it up."

I like a couple of these:
"Born: obviously. Dead: presumably."
"If this grave's a'rockin', don't come a'knockin'."
"...so I bit him."
"...and that's when she killed me, your honor."
"I did take it with me, and no you can't have any."
"I made them regret the 'all you can eat' deal, let me tell you."
"Rocks fell, everybody died."
"Lose weight now, ask me how."
"Wish you were here." (my personal favorite)

The actress Joan Hackett has on her tombstone "Go Away. I'm Sleeping." Personally, I've always liked "I TOLD you I was sick."

The OH used to have a web page that had nothing on it but "Yes, I have a fucking home page. Now go away." A version of that seems appropriate for a tombstone as well.

"All die. O, the embarrassment."
