Funny epitaphs

Tombstones come with inscriptions that can sometimes be clever.  Just the idea of having a tomb with a funny quip makes me want to convert to an Abrahamic faith. Here's a sampling :


Wherever she went, including here, it was against her better judgement.
- Dorothy Parker, wisecracker



Végre nem butulok tovább. 
Eng. trans : Finally I'm becoming stupider no more.
- Pál Erdős,  mathematician

Here lies Groucho Marx
and Lies and Lies and Lies
- Groucho Marx,  comedian.


Here lies the body of Emily White,
She signaled left, and then turned right.
- Emily White, motorist.

HOUDINI
- Harry Houdini, escape artiste.

Here lies
Johnny Yeast
Pardon me
For not rising

- most likely made up


Here lies an Atheist, all dressed up
and no place to go.
- an atheist in the Bible belt





 I'm working on mine.  So should you!
