I am surprised that nobody has had it sent to them in an email before now. I have seen it a couple of times. would be interesting to know more though. Was it a co-ink-i-dink?

Speaking of death, I love this quotation from Woody Allen: 'I'm not afraid to die, I just don't want to be there when it happens...'

The verse appears on the back of John Laird McCaffrey’s headstone after he died aged 54 on August 14, 1995. Anybody strolling through the sombre Section 1300+ of the Notre-Dame-des-Neiges cemetery might also notice that the message projected by the deceased Irish guy from the Point spells FUCK YOU when read vertically. The cryptic message occurred to the monument maker after he finished sandblasting it into stone. “Afterwards, as I’m done, I’m looking at it and I’m like, ‘Wow.’ I noticed it just like that,” says John, whose full name won’t be published here for professional reasons. “This guy’s ex-wife and mistress came in together and ordered the stone. They said the message represented him. It was a thing between the three of them,” says John, who notes that the only other such hardy-har headstone he’s been hired to write says: “I’d rather be in Boston but my wife buried me here.”
Ian Aiello, a third-generation monument maker from Aiello Sebastiano Monuments, notes that most don’t go for knee-slappers in the boneyard. “We don’t do it much, although every once in a while you’ll get requests. The classic one is, ‘I told you I was sick.’ I think it’s healthy and good, because monotony is the biggest problem in today’s cemetery.”

"monotony is the biggest problem in today’s cemetery"
It's the same thing everyday with those dead people. |

Froggie, I just saw your post. Holy monkey! I know exactly where that cemetery is, I even recognize that building behind it. Thank you. Soon, I will be posting a photo of myself by that very tombstone.

I remember us talking about that very acrostic on the forum a while ago. Maybe it was in a Robert Onion thread... http://www.snopes.com/photos/grave.asp
My tombstone would have this recording playing through a speaker, with a voice activated sensor:
speaker: "Knock, knock"
visitor: "Who's there?"
speaker: "Nobody, dumbass."

The writing has to be very small. So small that you have to get REALLY close to read it.
