And I simply can't participate in this thread without mentioning the famous ones in the Key West Cemetary:

And of course the classic from Boot Hill Cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona:




And while these photos are not mind, having simply found them with a quick google search, I have seen each of these three in person.

Screw you, I'm sleeping in today!

I still like Spike Milligan's of "I told you I was ill" but I'd be quite happy with "The trick with DIY is always to use a really sharp saw, it's much safer" given my track record of injuries to date.
As an aside though, there's at least one gravestone in my local churchyard with "fell asleep" on it, which worried me a lot as a kid when we went to put flower's on gran's grave.

"FFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUU"

[Jester]

I just thought of one that is both funny and somewhat creepy, and for me, rather appropriate.

I am notorious for dozing off when drunk, oftentimes while standing up and holding a beer....and I never spill the beer. (Seriously. Never.) But one thing that does happen often is, when I am dozing off at a bar, people will tell me I'm sleeping, and I'll be roused just enough to deny it. So, with that in mind, I can see the very phrase I use in my drunken stupor on my own gravestone:

"I'm not sleeping!"

Yeah, that'll give the kiddies some nightmares, don't ya think?

"It should have been you."

[Der Cute]

My hovercraft WAS full of eels.

[Jester]

I wouldn't do it, but just thought of a great one: "You're next." Yeah, that wouldn't spawn too many nightmares.....
