"Funny messages from beyond the grave"

A forum called 'life, the universe and all that jazz' seems a strange place to start this topic as it is about death (don't get depressed and leave, it's not that bad) but it seems to be the only relevant forum.

I found a website about funny things which have been engraved on tombstones. Some are great and some have clearly been chosen by an enemy of the deceased. Here are a few examples and these are 100% genuine messages on tombstones around the world (mainly in America)

Here lies Ezekiel Aikle, Age 102,
The good die young

Here lays Butch, we planted him raw,
He was quick on the trigger, but slow on the draw

Here lies a man named Zeke
Second fastest draw in Cripple Creek

(On the grave of an auctioneer)
Jedediah Goodwin Born 1828
Going!
Going!!
Gone!!! 1876

Tears cannot restore her
Therefore I weep

Here lies an athiest
All dressed up and no place to go

(On a hypochondriacs grave)
I told you I was sick

Here lies the body of Jonathan Blake
Stepped on the gas instead of the brake

(On the grave of a woman whose ex husband was buried in Texas)
All things considered
I would rather be here than in Texas

What do you think of these and more to the point what would you have on your gravestone? Why not write one for someone else and post it here.
