Obituaries...
As Bloomberg try to hide their embarrassment at publishing Steve Job's obituary in error (Steve is the guru at Apple amongst other things), it got me wondering....
What would you have as your obituary......? Or maybe a single line on your tombstone.

Re: Obituaries...
A recently-widowed woman went into the Classifieds section in a Scottish newspaper.
Enquiring about the costs for an obituary notice, she is told that the newspaper charges by the word.
The woman explains that she doesn't have much money, so will have to keep the notice short. She thinks about it, and decides on:
"Peter Reid. Deid."
The clerk feels sorry for the woman, and decides to offer her a few more words free of charge.
The woman thinks about it a bit more, and finally comes up with:
"Peter Reid. Deid. Ford Escort For Sale."

Re: Obituaries...
There was an obituary in the local paper today (complete with pictures).
I quote:
Rosette Pink Angel (1997-2008) passed away on Saturday August 30 2008
Beano Tears From Heaven (1999 to 2008) passed away on Saturday September 6th 2008
It is with great sadness that Sneezy the clown and her husband lost their precious pugs within one week of each other. We miss them so much! Rest in peace little angels. You are together again.
Um...people are weird in Milton...
