Funny kilt related headstones?
Hey guys!
If you click this link you will find a great article on my local sense of humor.
But I am wondering if any of you have links or pics to headstones with tartans, or Celt humor. I laughed my butt off reading some of the epitaphs and instantly wondered about the kilted mans tombstone.
How about, "Now, no peakin'!"
Cheers and blessings.

Oh Lamb of God who often bleated
Have mercy on this soul long pleated
Oh Cornerstone of God's city built
Pray give a mansion for his kilt

I've always liked this one although it has nothing to do with kilts

ok, so this isn't kilt related either. But a friend goes through graveyards in the Williamsburg area from time to time, taking pics of funny, sad, odd and fading tombstones. Her best find so far was the "I told you I was sick" mentioned in the article.

Epitaph
Here I lie in eternal repose,
Clad for comfort in my mortal clothes.
As I shuffle off this mortal coil,
I shall not remain as merely soil.
Flesh and bone may yield but dirt,
But St. Peter knows tis not a skirt.
While all that's left may be but silt,
I'm in heaven.........and in my kilt.
"The opposite of faith is not doubt. Doubt is central to faith. The opposite of faith is certainty."
Ken Burns
