Tombstones

Friday, August 31st by carla

The blog Oddee links to a variety of unusual topics. If you are reading this from school, however, there’s a good chance your school’s filter blocks the site, mostly because of its advertising. So far my favorite collection is 12 Hilarious Tombstones. I thought I’d share a few school-appropriate ones here — with captions but sans the advertising — because by Friday a teacher can use a good laugh.

Here lies my wife … Here lies my Wife
in Earthy Mold
Who when she Died
Did naught but Scold
Good Friends go softly
in your walking
Lest she should Wake
and Rise up Talking
Niagara Falls, Canada Johnathan Blake
Bye See ya later!
In Lakewood Cemetery, Minneapolis, Minnesota
