Before I write the rest of this, I want to make it VERY clear that I IN NO WAY think it is acceptable to deface a tombstone, not for any reason. These markers are important historically and to the families of those whose names are on them. That said, well, there IS an exception to every rule, and here’s an interesting one to store in your computer memory. This example of an interesting defacement is from a cemetery in England. The original inscription reads:

Remember man, as you walk by,
As you are now, so once was I,
As I am now, so shall you be,
Remember this and follow me.

An different epitaph all on it’s own, and worthy of note, but even more so now… some enterprising person has added, scrawled beneath the original:

To follow you I’ll not consent,
Until I know which way you went.
