Thread Name: BS: What do you want on your gravestone?
Subject: RE: BS: What do you want on your gravestone?
Actually, I want to be encased in plastic, like those starfish and things in a high school biology lab. I want to be standing up when this is done and the plastic made into a cylinder.

A hookeye should be placed in the plastic, and a hole drilled to accomodate the cylinder. On top will be a cylindrical gravestone giving my name, dates (birth and death, not all of those girls), and a few facts about me -- my Nobel Peace Prize, a list of my Grammys and Oscars, etc. The epitath will read "Still thirsty!" or "Returned to Sender" or something equally short.

BUT! When folks in the future wonder what I looked like, all they have to do is pull out the gravestone, hook a derrick or wrecker or whatever to the eyebolt, and hoist away! Up I'll come, looking as natural as the day I was put into the plastic.

My eyes open, mouth in a nice smile, both middle fingers upraised....
