NEW EPITAPH CONTEST! — by Steve Nadis
This idea comes courtesy of “Fletch” (a friend of mine who’s full name will remain anonymous). “Why not have a contest for best epitaph (actually seen, hypothetical, etc.) or ‘what I want my epitaph to be,’” he suggests. “My personal favorite: ‘See, I told you I was sick.’”
I already told you mine: “Not his best effort.” Old Roses submitted: “Excuse me while I compost.” Turd Blossom needed time to think about an epitaph but did offer the following epithet: “F___ you, Rummy!” If anyone else wants to speak up, this is your chance. Though hopefully not your last chance.

“Wouldn’t, couldn’t, didn’t–dammit.”
or
“If you lived here, you’d be dead by now.”
Thanks Gatemouth, no contest would be compleat w/o an entry from our perennial champ. I like them both–the second one seeming particularly close to home.
“Thought the Doc said 1 yellow & 5 WHITE ones each morning”
Not bad, MP, not bad…
Darn, I’m still thinking. My normal (???) wit is evading me.
How about this?
“Here lies Windfall laid to rest,
hope they buried her looking her best.”
keep tryin’ WFW, you’ll come up w/somethin’.
