Unusual Tombstone

[mikesd]

Not to be disrespectful but ran across this in a local cemetery and thought better language could have been used.

don't mess w/ the dead, mang! Let them Rest in Peace dude.

I agree...sounds like they strung him up.

Hmmm. What am I missing? I don't see anything strange about this one.

[Cash--]

that is unusual.......theres an old cemetary not too far from here, that has alot of old handmade headstones. I was talking to my father about it and he told me that my grandad had actually made several of those headstones, weird things you find out about your family.

[bad pun]So is that a graven image[/bad pun]

Lets hope not, dedicated would probably had been a better choice.:o

Doesn't it just mean that the school children erected the tombstone (stood it up)

[mikesd]

absolutley!

I guess mikesd was going for the pervey interpretation of the superintendent being "erected" himself by seeing school children? :p

I guess the English back then had different connotations and general usage, right? ;)
