Dead Funny
Well I thought I would give it a go a post a topic. It is inspired in part by a radio add i keep hearing about it being national epitaph planning week. It also inspired by Billy Connlly who has always said that he wants the inscription so small that people have to step forward to read it only to find it say 'Your standing on my whatsits'(edited of course).
I've always fancied
'Gone to get the round in'
So what would you want put on your headstone????

I keep saying "I'll get enough sleep when I die!"
So it'll probably be "Asleep at last!"

I thought that was for an atheist (all dressed up and nowhere to go)?
(note to self look up agnostic and stop using brackets)
i've written too many in my time for other people now i prefer to read them instead. (BUT if i do think of one that HAS to be read i might) (i never did welcome you to the boards koala hun....erm....WELCOME )

My headstone would probably have a Welcome mat in front of it 
, or some sarcastic comment. But I can't think of an ideal example yet...

How about "I planned to live forever, or die trying"? (spot the Blake's 7 fan...)
or perhaps "I'll be back"?
or perhaps "I'll be back"?

I quite like Spike Milligan's "I told you I was ill..."
or something like
"Here lies the body of my double, I fooled you all! I'm actually sipping cocktails somewhere on a beach in Hawaii. Ner Ner Na Ner Ner

How about..
For now I'm at rest,
Under your feet,
Carefree at last,
Knowledge I gained,
Opinions I had,
For they mean nothing now,
For now I'm at rest.

No headstone or stone of anykind for me because i'm not being buried, i'm just gonna be burned and put in a dustbin somewhere, but if I did have one, it would say...
"The Force was strong in this one"
or
"Snootchie Bootchie Nootchies"
or
"Here lies a scruffy Nerf Herder"

I changed the words to suit me. I am not atheist, I am agnostic (someone who is not sure *what* to believe in).

"Snootchie Bootchie Nootchies"
i love that one!Mine would be something like
"No need for bubblewrap now"
I'll probably be the cause of my own death if i'm not careful. Its dangerous putting Ewan and Vin on the side of buses its very distracting!

Another one here who has no intention of having a head stone. Always liked the idea of a Viking burial myself, but after reading a certain thread I prefer the idea of donating my body to science.
But to play along for the fun of it how about:
You know what? I can finally prove there's no afterlife!
or:
He came, he saw, he drank and smoked till he collapsed.

Agnostic means to be without knowledge and is usually meant to mean people who are unsure about whether or not to have faith in a diety or dieties. However, if the term is taken literally then almost all atheists are agnostic. Atheist means to be without faith, and most atheists do not claim to know if deities exist (as this would be unprovable by its nature), but simply choose not to have faith in entities they know nothing about.
