When a friend on Facebook the other day quoted some particularly snarky thing I’d said, my response was, “I want that on my tombstone.” That got me thinking about some of the great epitaphs of history and, lucky for me, Wikipedia has a long list of them. Here are a few of my favorites:
Susan B. Anthony: “Liberty, Humanity, Justice, Equality”
George Burns and Gracie Allen: “Together again.”
Mel Blanc: “That’s all, folks!”
Winston Churchill: “I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter.”
Rodney Dangerfield: “There goes the neighborhood.”
Jackie Gleason: “And away we go!”
HL Mencken: “If after I depart this vale you ever remember me and have thought to please my ghost, forgive some sinner, and wink your eye at some homely girl.”
What do you want yours to say?
