Thread Name: BS: What would you want on your headstone?
Subject: RE: BS: What would you want on your headstone?
...a personal favorite, from the fictitious(?) headstone of a fictitious(?) character in "Trout Fishing In America," by Richard Brautigan:

"Sacred to the memory of John Brown, who got his ass shot off in a honky-tonk. This mason jar of wilted flowers was left here by his sister, who is in the crazy house now."*

*(quoted from faulty memory)
