Silly Stones
I found this interesting site online called Grave Humor - Funny, Ironic and Ridiculous Tombstones, where people post pictures of weird stones that they see. If your humor can get as morbid as mine, you may appreciate this site. I think my favourite is the one that reads "I made a lot of deals in my life but I went in the hole on this one" (I SERIOUSLY love a good pun...), with this one being a close second. Some of the pictures are of tombstones of people who's names are a little silly, such as "Worm" and that kind of thing, which I don't find particularly funny. I appreciate the ones that are purposefully engraved in a manner to make you chuckle, because I would like to do something similar when I die. In our culture, at least the way I see it, the tombstone stands as a marker of not only the individual's body, but of their life as well. We put names and phrases on the stone that remind us of who the dead were in life, to preserve our memory of them. So I appreciate when someone makes a conscious effort to create the best memories of themselves after their passing by having an interesting phrase put onto their tombstone, or having the tombstone itself depict something original like Mickey Mouse, a computer or a parking meter. Flip through the photos and enjoy!
