    My obituary

    Just in case there are any long lost friends or classmates still kicking when I go, I told my wife I wanted my obit to state that I was the secret, single owner of Wal-Mart. And, in order to keep my identity secret, I worked at a local steel mill for over 30 years.

    I want my obit to state I was the secret, single husband of Princess Stephanie of Monaco (number 4, I believe). I want to be buried in the royal cemetary, and they can deposit my share of the royal jewels into a secret bank account that my heirs will have access to. I want this story to be printed on the front page of the Nat'l Enquirer and Globe.

    On second thought, I want the papers to issue a correction, that on further investigation it was revealed the decedent was not actually dead. He will be flying to Monaco to move in with Princess Stephanie and claim his title. His heirs will have to wait awhile for their inheritance.

      My headstone will carry the following message:

      WHAT ARE YOU LOOKIN' AT?

          I don't plan on having a headstone, and one of my favorite Dr. Demento songs is "send me to glory in a glad bag".

          But I think an appropriate one is

          Thanks, but go spend your time LIVING!
          You'll be here, soon enough.

            I have written the Eulogy to be read and my services. My wife read it and just laughed so hard she almost cried.

            I won't have a headstone as my ashes will be scattered over my favorite place in the mountains. But if I did it would "Go away there is no future here" Like one of the other posters said. Go have a life, you will be here soon enough. Just can't see the use of putting a fine wooden box into the ground when the wood could be use for something useful and beautiful, like 10,000 pens. or a new workbench.

              No headstone for me... Just a memorial plaque on Heather Locklear's headboard...

                  Brings to mind an old John Prine song:
                  "Please don't bury me down in the cold, cold ground. I'd rather have 'em cut me up and pass me all around."
                  The first an only song about organ donation.
