I've really been enjoying the autobiography thread, and it set me wondering about something else: if it was up to you, what would you have inscribed on your tombstone?
I learned to read from gravestones in our local churchyard, and it was pretty much the highlight after Sunday School to wander round and scare ourselves silly with the Victorian inscriptions (I spent a while terrified by all the "Fell Asleep"s...), some of which were also either fantastic or humourous. It left me fascinated with graveyards and inscriptions, and I always try to find churchyards or cemeteries, even on holiday, to wander round.
So - no morbidity, but: what would you have?

Can anyone see the light switch?

" Hang on a minute - I need another day"
or
"I'd have been late for my funeral if someone else hadn't organised it"
