> About 20 years ago there was a book called, if I remember rightly, "A Little Book of Grave Humour", which was full of
real-life epitaphs showing a sense of humour. Alas, I can't remember them now, but some of them were enough to make
you die laughing.


I've looked them up on the library server and here they are. I also found a couple of others including one by the aforementioned Mr. Milligan which should be worth a look or two.
