Denial





The funny thing is that these are all neighbors in the cemetery.

  1. I just don't understand why this is such a common tombstone epitaph. Everyone knows if you're 6 feet under, you're most definitely dead. There's no point in denying it! Not to mention the creepy zombie implications it has, lol. THe first one is kinda sweet, but the second "he is not dead" borders on angry denial, as if you would dare to question it. The third one is just so casual about it! "Ah, don't worry, he's just asleep."

  2. Can I have, "I'm getting better," as my epitaph?

  3. Fanboy wife -- "I want to go for a walk now!" (smirk)

    Actually, now I"m humming the old Beatles song:
    "Please don't wake me; no, don't shake me./ Leave me where I am; I'm only sleeping."
    Somehow, I don't think this is what they had in mind.

  4. It makes me think of Monty Python's Dead Parrot: He's not dead, he's resting! ... Oh look at that, you've gone and killed him.

  5. I'm getting "She's pining for the fjords!" on mine. Or maybe "Not quite centered."

  6. I used to see "fell asleep in the arms of Jesus" quite a lot. Always kinda weirded me out when I was a kid.
