Funny Epitaphs 幽默墓志铭
{谐趣角}
东方人的墓志铭多记录与颂扬，西方人的墓志铭则多调侃与幽默，其中的顽皮、潇洒与机智，消解了死亡的沉重，而墓中安睡的逝者，也似乎未与亲友生死相隔……
1．Here lies the body of our Anna
Done to death by a banana
It wasn’t the fruit that laid her low
But the skin of the thing that made her go
---Anna Hopewell’s grave in Enosburg Falls, Vermont (佛蒙特州伊诺斯堡福尔斯市)
Anna真是不幸，让一块香蕉皮夺去性命。转念想想，这一跤难道与伊诺斯堡福尔斯市的名字(Falls)也有关系？
2．Here lies
Johnny Yeast
Pardon me
For not rising
---In Ruidoso, New Mexico
入土也不忘客气，真是位gentleman。
3．Reader if cash thou art
In want of any
Dig 4 feet deep
And thou wilt find a Penny
---John Penny’s epitaph in the Wimborne, England, cemetery
“看官，您若缺钱，不妨掘地四尺，就会发现一便士。”
果真如此，“便士”兄的玩笑可就开大了~~~~~~
